WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND (AP) – New Zealand police said on Wednesday they found more than three tonnes of cocaine floating in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean after it was dropped there by an international drug-smuggling syndicate.
While they had yet to make any arrests, police said they had dealt a financial blow to everyone from the South American producers of the drugs through to the distributors in what was the nation’s largest-ever drug seizure.
More details in Thursday’s Borneo Bulletin.
