Four people have been arrested after allegedly trying to sneak 400 kilograms (880 lb) of methamphetamine into Australia in hundreds of bottles of Sriracha-branded hot sauce.

The boxes -- which were sent by freight from the United States to Sydney -- were declared as containing bottles of the chilli sauce, Australia's New South Wales (NSW) police said in a statement Thursday.

I know people want tacos with some kick but that’s a bit much.

Almost 900lbs of Meth.... someone is going to pay dearly for losing that to the LEO's.

Makes you wonder how many shipments actually made it through undetected?

Assuming this also impacts a drug dog's ability to smell the loot.

Enough that this won't really have an impact on their business. $200mm is a whole lot of money, but it is highly likely that their other 2 or 3 shipments got through just fine. When the profit margins are so high on that crap, street value does not equal what was really lost by those in the business.
