Australia's Largest Cocaine Bust | Sydney News

Australia just pulled off its biggest cocaine bust in nearly 20 years—nearly three tonnes worth $816 million, traced back to a floating stash found near a burnt-out truck. The operation, dubbed Operation Minjiang, has led to 12 arrests, including a Brisbane transport boss accused of smuggling the haul across states and a Sydney teen found with a loaded pistol, sawed-off shotgun, ammo, and a silencer. Investigators believe the drugs moved from a Brisbane safe house before being shipped interstate, while the trucking company appears unaware. The case, now in court, is still unfolding.
