Australian authorities have seized the country's largest ice shipment in history. 

Border Force officers detected almost 1.6 tonnes of the drug - with a street value of over $1.2billion - hidden in speakers sent from Bangkok, Thailand.  

Officers picked the cargo shipment for further inspection in a targeting operation and, after being x-rayed at Melbourne Container Examination Facility, they noticed anomalies in the speakers. 

They then took the speakers apart and found vacuum-sealed bags of the drug inside.
