An Australian organized crime task force has seized a record 568 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine hydrochloride, also known as "ice", CNN reported. The seizure in Sydney is nearly double the previous Australian law enforcement record of 306 kilograms, set in July 2012.
Authorities found the methamphetamine, worth an estimated $448 million on the street, in shipments of industrial cleaning supplies originating in China. Three men — a Singaporean, an Australian, and an individual from Hong Kong — have been taken into custody and charged with intent to possess a commercial amount of narcotics. They face potential life sentences if convicted.
