Two tones of vanilla powder laced with pseudoephedrine, valued at $290m were reported to have been seized in Australia.

The Police in Australia’s Victoria state made this disclosure, adding that eight Canadians and two Australians have been arrested in an 18-month investigation.

The officers also said Australia has been targeted by international crime syndicates for its wealth and large drug market.

The officers concluded however that the operation has potentially prevented up to 300kg of ice from being sold.
