Australian police seize A$160m drug haul

Police have seized Australia's largest haul of drug chemicals - enough to make four million Ecstasy pills worth A$160 million ($174.46 million).

Raids on properties in NSW and Victoria netted two tonnes of chemicals: one tonne in five drums at the New South Wales-Victoria border, and a further tonne in five 44-gallon drums at a premises in Brunswick, Melbourne.

Two men have been charged with illegal importation and trafficking a drug of dependence.
