Police confiscate equipment and chemicals from an alleged house-turned-drug lab in Australia.

Seven men were charged with manufacturing and trafficking of methamphetamines in connection with two raids in the city of Melbourne.

Officers called the drug ring well organized.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) VICTORIAN POLICE ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER STEPHEN FONTANA SAYING:

"These are extensive elaborate set ups. The first address has probably got a production in the whole house, every room is set up with a lab brewing."

Four of the men were Australians, two were Canadian and one was Vietnamese.
