Police have arrested four men after Australian police found 400 kg 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 207million dollars .

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.
