Australian authorities say they seized chemicals which could have been used to make 1 ton of methamphetamine and arrested four men in a joint operation with China.
Australian Federal Police said Wednesday they seized 1.4 tons of the precursor ephedrine, which could have been used to make meth with a street value of nearly A$700 million (US$500 million).
Investigators say they were tipped off by Chinese authorities about a syndicate suspected of importing commercial quantities of drugs
