Police had one of their "easiest" drug busts when a van carrying more than $A200 million worth of ice crashed into police cars parked outside a Sydney cop shop.
Detectives say a 26-year-old man was driving the van when it hit two police cars outside Eastwood police station about 10.30am on Monday.
Police stopped the van in the nearby suburb of Ryde where a search uncovered 13 boxes with 273 kilograms of the drug ice, NSW Police said in a statement.
"This would be one of the easiest drug busts NSW Police have ever made," Detective Chief Inspector Glyn Baker told reporters.
"This man has certainly had a very, very bad day. Crashing into a police vehicle with that amount of drugs on board is somewhat unheard of - it's an exceptional set of circumstances."
The drugs have an estimated street value of more than $200 million. Investigators are now working to determine who else may be involved in the syndicate.
"With a haul of this size - this has now initiated quite a significant investigation," Det Chief Insp Baker said.
Police are still trying to determine what caused the man to swerve into the parked cars.
One of the police vehicles - a Holden Commodore - was written off while the other was slightly damaged.
The 26-year-old was charged with supplying a commercial quantity of drugs, negligent driving and not giving his particulars to police.
He was refused bail to appear at Burwood Local Court on Tuesday.
