Four men have been arrested after Australian police found 400kg (882lb) of crystal methamphetamine hidden inside imported hot sauce bottles.

Authorities searched a consignment of sriracha chilli sauce shipped to Sydney from the US to discover drugs worth roughly A$300 million (£161m; $207m). They subsequently arrested four men aged 30, 34, 36 and 45 – the oldest of whom was detained on Thursday. Police are in touch with US authorities in a bid to find the shipment’s origin.

Acting Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith said the 768 bottles were en route to a “clandestine lab” in Sydney when they were found.
