Drug ring's South Pacific hideaway raided in record $770m haul


Australian, New Zealand and Fijian police have smashed a massive drug operation in Suva that allegedly operated the largest methamphetamine laboratory ever uncovered in the southern hemisphere.

The lab had been producing the party drug methamphetamine, known as "ice", for the Australian, New Zealand, US and European markets.

Police raided a factory in Suva yesterday and seized illegal drugs and chemicals with an estimated street value of 1 billion Fiji dollars ($770 million).
