Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Australian authorities charged three Sydney dockworkers over a shipment of cocaine and money found hidden in a false wall.
The shipment of 1,116 pounds of cocaine, with a street value of roughly $107 million, and $215,000 in cash were seized following an investigation by the Multi Agency Strike Team, which was formed in April 2025, Australian Federal Police and the NSW Police Force said in a joint statement.
A 25-year-old man and a 38-year-old man were charged with importing a commercial quantity of a border-controlled drug and attempting to posess a commercial quantity of cocaine.
The 38-year-old, who worked as a forklift driver, was seen moving shipping containers to gain access to the container where the cocaine was eventually found.
