New South Wales police say two illicit drug labs used to manufacture $15 million worth of amphetamines have been found on Sydney's north-western outskirts.
Police say more than 500 kilograms of toxic waste and 500 pieces of equipment were discovered in the labs.
Detective Inspector Paul Willingham says it is one of the biggest operations uncovered in the past few years.
"The actual illicit drug manufacturing site that's been located in the lower Portland area of the Hawkesbury River is one of the largest discovered in recent times," he said.

No arrests have been made.
