New Zealand intercepts 3.2 tonnes of cocaine worth $500m floating in Pacific Ocean
Authorities say the haul, which is the largest seizure of illicit drugs made by the country’s law enforcement, was destined for Australia
New Zealand authorities have found a record-breaking amount of cocaine floating in international waters, which they say was bound for Australia and would have been enough to supply the country for a year.
The 3.2-tonne haul was valued at NZ$500m (US$315m, AU$456m). It was the largest seizure of illicit drugs made by New Zealand law enforcement “by quite some margin”, the police commissioner, Andrew Coster, said at a news conference in Wellington on Wednesday.
