Bottles of the popular Sriracha hot sauce could be hard to find on store shelves this summer.

Police in Australia arrested four people who are accused of smuggling methamphetamine concealed in bottles of Sriracha. The drug was found in bottles of the popular hot sauce from the United States, authorities said during a press conference Thursday. "They've gone to considerable effort to make the sauce appear to be sauce, and within it is embedded a significant amount of methamphetamine," O'Connor added. Officers from the Australian Federal Police and the country's Border Force conducted the operation on Oct. 15. They found that 768 bottles of the chili sauce tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine after initial tests.

The bottles contained large amounts of meth, which has an estimated potential street value of over 300 million Australian dollars or $208 million US dollars. SYDNEY, Australia - 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. But testing by the Australian Border Force earlier this month found the bottles contained large amounts of meth, which has an estimated potential street value of over 300 million Australian dollars ($208 million). It's not the first time smugglers have been busted trying to sneak drugs into Australia in surprising objects. In the past, Australian police have also seized drugs hidden in snow globes and in stereo speakers.
