Australian police have seized drugs worth over half a billion dollars and broken up a Hong Kong-based drugs ring.

Four Hong Kong nationals and three Australian residents were also arrested in raids in Sydney on Monday.

Over half a tonne of drugs, including 306kg (674.61lb) of crystal methamphetamine - also known as ''ice'' - and 252kg of heroin, were seized.

The haul is the largest seizure of ''ice'' and the third largest seizure of heroin, police said.

The drugs are estimated to be worth A$500m (US$526m; £335m), the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said in a statement.

The raids and arrests followed a year-long investigation.

"Countless lives would have been affected had this seizure made its way to Australian streets," Deputy Commissioner Andrew Colvin told Australian media.
