Australia drug bust: Largest-ever crystal meth haul found in marble
Almost two tonnes of methamphetamine has been seized by Australian police - the biggest bust of the drug in the country's history. Police found 1,800kg (283 stone) of what is known locally as ice inside shipping containers at a Sydney port.
The drugs were concealed inside marble stone tiles bound for New South Wales, in a shipment that arrived from Asia. Four people were arrested in raids across Sydney.
Australian Border Force and federal police said the bust, worth an estimated AU.3bn (; £770m) in street value, dealt a significant blow to organised crime networks operating in the country.
