据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网的合作机构英国广播公司报道，一名英国女演员被控试图从西非向澳大利亚走私700磅甲基苯丙胺。
34岁的艾玛·胡森曾与杰森·斯坦森合作出演2013年动作惊悚片《救赎》，还在2010年参演了英国长寿剧集《东区人》的衍生作品。她周四在悉尼一家法院出庭，面临试图向澳大利亚境内走私价值2.08亿美元甲基苯丙胺的指控。
据英国广播公司报道，警方表示这批毒品被藏在从加纳发运的集装箱内的炭袋中。胡森最高可面临终身监禁的刑罚。
澳大利亚联邦警察代理督察特雷弗·鲁滨逊在一份声明中表示，此次缉毒行动“阻止了多达320万份毒品流入澳大利亚街头”。
边境部队督察贾里德·莱顿说道：“犯罪团伙会不择手段地伪装违禁毒品，包括将其藏在炭袋这类日常物品中，但我们训练有素的警员能够识破这些伎俩。”
“一种白色结晶状物质”
澳大利亚警方于今年4月首次展开调查，当时他们在从加纳发往悉尼博塔尼港的两个集装箱内发现了“一种白色结晶状物质”。警方称，胡森协助几名男子开箱，随后将货物装入一辆汽车。他们驱车前往一处住宅，警方在此逮捕了胡森。
据澳大利亚第九新闻网报道，警方在该住宅内查获了32袋毒品。
另有一对南非夫妇，分别为30岁和32岁，因使用虚假身份租赁储物仓库而被捕。
胡森已被拒绝保释，下次出庭时间定在8月。
British actress accused of trying to smuggle $208 million worth of meth into Australia in charcoal bags

A British actress has been charged with attempting to smuggle 700 pounds of methamphetamine into Australia from West Africa, according to CBS News’ partner network the BBC.
Emaa Hussen, 34, who appeared in the 2013 action thriller “Redemption” with Jason Statham, and a spin-off of the U.K.’s long-running series EastEnders in 2010, appeared in a Sydney court Thursday to face accusations of trying to bring $208 million worth of meth into the country.
Police have said the drugs were hidden in bags of charcoal loaded into shipping containers sent from Ghana, according to the BBC. The maximum penalty Hussen could face is life imprisonment.

The drugs seizure “has prevented a potential 3.2 million deals from reaching Australian streets,” Acting Superintendent Trevor Robinson, of the Australian Federal Police, said in a statement.
“Criminal syndicates will go to great lengths to disguise illicit drugs, including embedding them in everyday goods like charcoal, but our highly skilled officers are trained to see beyond these attempts,” said Border Force Superintendent Jared Leighton.
“A white crystalized substance”
Australian police first launched their investigation in April after finding a “white crystalized substance” in two shipping containers sent from Ghana to Sydney’s Port Botany. They said Hussen helped several men unpacked the containers, then load the goods into a vehicle. They drove to a home where police arrested Hussen.
Police found 32 bags at the house, according to Australia’s 9News.
A South African couple, 30 and 32 years old, were also arrested for using false identities to rent storage units.
Hussen has been refused bail has another court date in August.
