Police allegedly seized the drugs.

I'm understanding about the word "allege" when it comes to the guys arrested. They're accused of a crime and unless/until a court proves them guilty, they allegedly imported drugs.

But Police seized drugs. There's no question about this. They were definitely smuggled into the country and definitely seized. There is no question around that part.

Side note: These are all kids aged 17-20. They're obviously not the criminal masterminds importing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of meth into Australia. I hope that whoever is hiding behind these kids taking the risks is brought to justice.
