Australia's Largest Cocaine Bust
from Australia News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Australia just pulled off its biggest-ever cocaine bust—nearly three tonnes worth, valued at $816 million—with two young suspects arrested after trying to flee police during a raid in Sydney. Hidden in underground bunkers beneath shipping containers, the drugs were part of a highly organized syndicate that allegedly funneled cocaine from near Midge Point in Queensland down through Sydney. Operation Minjiang, now in its final phase, has already seized over 320kg of drugs before this massive haul. The suspect vessel, MV Wealth, is now detained in the Solomon Islands. Both men face life imprisonment and won’t be released on bail. This is a major win for Australia’s federal police, showcasing relentless efforts to dismantle a dangerous, well-funded criminal network.
