(Reuters photo)MELBOURNE -- Australian police have seized 903 kilogrammes of crystal methamphetamine that was smuggled from China inside hollow floorboards - the largest ever haul of the illicit drug in Australia, officials said on Wednesday. Law enforcement agencies valued the seizure, mostly found in a Melbourne warehouse in February, at almost A$900 million (US$680 million). Criminals could sell "ice" in Australia for 80 times more than it cost in China, Keenan said. Australia's previous largest haul of crystal meth was almost 880 kilogrammes, seized in Sydney in November 2014. The country's largest seizure of cocaine was made in February when a yacht was intercepted off the east coast carrying 1.4 tonnes of the drug.
