Three Gold Coast men have been charged over their alleged role in a Customs drug-smuggling ring.
The men, aged between 19 and 21, were arrested by the Federal Police in Queensland and New South Wales yesterday.
Two of the men were from Surfers Paradise while one was from Arundel.
Police allege they conspired with corrupt Customs officers and baggage handlers to smuggle pseudoephedrine from Vietnam through Sydney Airport last year.
The men are being kept in custody to face court this week and in June.
Their arrests are a part of a two-year, multi-agency investigation.
So far 20 alleged members of the drug ring have been charged including four Customs officers and a quarantine officer.
