Sweden has issued international arrest warrants for two Britons suspected of masterminding a garlic smuggling ring.

Prosecutor Thomas Ahlstrand in Gothenburg said on Wednesday that the men had shipped the 1.2 tonnes of Chinese garlic to Norway by boat, where it entered the country duty-free as it was considered to be in transit.
