An alleged Victorian crime syndicate has been busted over the largest seizure of ketamine in Australian history following a series of raids.

Three men were arrested at a rural property in Lara near Geelong on Tuesday as police uncovered 174 kilograms of ketamine, a border-controlled drug used by doctors and vets as a pain killer and sedative.
