Australian authorities have seized 1.6 tonnes of methamphetamine hidden in marble tiles shipped from the Middle East to Sydney. Police described it as the largest-ever seizure of the illicit drug in Australia. Police estimate the meth's street value at A$1.6 billion (US$1.1 billion), reflecting the higher prices that Australians pay for illicit drugs than users do in many comparable countries. The three men arrested face potential life sentences in prison if convicted of drug trafficking.
