Police in Australia have made a record seizure of the drug ecstasy, finding three million tablets in a bakery oven.
The pills were hidden within the metal shell of the oven, which police say was imported from Poland, via Germany.
Customs officers X-rayed the equipment and spotted suspicious packages in the wall and base cavities.
Two men - both Australians - were arrested after taking delivery of the oven and allegedly removing its contents in a factory in Sydney.

Bail denied over $15m drug haul
November 25, 2004
A FATHER of two accused of being a key figure in the importation of more than $15 million worth of ecstasy tablets was denied bail today in a Gold Coast court.
Jason Edward Brophy, 38, was charged with trafficking a dangerous drug, conspiracy to import a prohibited import and conspiracy to possess a prohibited import relating to two large seizures of ecstasy in New South Wales in the past week.
The trafficking and conspiracy charges follow the interception of a car carrying 91,800 MDMA pills near Gosford on the NSW central coast last Thursday.
Police claimed the operation prevented the ecstasy from reaching the Gold Coast a day before the start of Schoolies.
Police alleged Mr Brophy also was involved in a conspiracy to import a further 298,272 pills found in a Sydney house on Monday.

fruitfly said:Pizza baker admits dealing drugs
By LAURIE MASON, Bucks County Courier Times
December 7, 2004
A Richboro pizzeria owner on Monday was sentenced to six to 23 months in Bucks County prison plus three years of probation for dealing drugs and owning an illegal gun.
Charles Schell IV, 26, operated Munchies Pizza near Richboro Elementary and Richboro Middle schools before he was arrested. During a hearing in Bucks County court in Doylestown, Schell pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance, delivery of marijuana and possessing a firearm with altered serial numbers.
County Judge Kenneth Biehn ordered Schell to take part in a drug-treatment program as part of his sentence, and banned him from owning any guns. Schell's attorney, Ray McHugh, told the judge that his client's drug problems stemmed from a foot injury that left him addicted to prescription painkillers.
During a so-called "reverse sting," Schell sold nearly a pound of marijuana to officers and a large quantity of Percocet, a painkiller.
Police searched Schell's apartment above the restaurant and found PVC tubing and magazines on bomb making, as well as a .380-caliber handgun with the serial numbers filed off. Schell told the judge Monday that he kept the gun for protection.
In 1996, Schell was sentenced to 18 months of probation for shooting a rifle into the air. He was also found in contempt of court in March for violating a protection-from-abuse order that forbade him from having weapons.
Schell did not testify Monday. He smiled and waved at his parents and grandparents in the courtroom audience and thanked them for coming to the hearing.
