INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Australian police have made the largest seizure of crystal methamphetamine in the nation's history, officials say.
The 903kg (1,990lb) haul of the drug, also called ice, is estimated to have a street value of A$898m (£546m; $680m), Justice Minister Michael Keenan says.
The drugs were found hidden in 70 boxes of wooden floorboards at a warehouse in Melbourne, according to the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
Two men have been charged with drug trafficking offences.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull praised the police operation, describing drug traffickers as "merchants of death".
"This was nearly a tonne of ice, so this is a great credit to our border protection and our police in confiscating this enormous shipment," he said.
