Record $816 million cocaine bust in Sydney
from Sunrise · host LiSTNR
Australian police have seized 2.7 tonnes of cocaine worth $816 million in the country's largest drug bust, discovering the stash buried in underground bunkers with false floors on a property near Richmond in northwest Sydney. Two men have been arrested, with investigators believing the shipment arrived in north Queensland before being transported south. The massive seizure is expected to drive up cocaine prices and potentially intensify gang violence as criminal networks compete for market share in Australia, which has one of the highest per capita consumption rates and pays the highest prices globally for cocaine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
