Australia: Armed thieves get away with $3m pseudoephedrine haul

Police say $3 million of pseudoephedrine, which can be used to make illegal drugs, has been stolen during an armed hold-up in north-west Sydney.

Investigators say three men armed with shotguns and pistols threatened employees at a pharmaceutical manufacturing company at Castle Hill last night.

The trio ordered two staff members to open a safe where the drugs were being stored.

The workers were not hurt.

Detectives are now interviewing witnesses.

Pseudoephedrine is used to make cold and flu tablets, but can also be used to make illicit drugs.
