Police found 2.7 metric tonnes of cocaine on a property on the outskirts of Sydney in Australia’s largest ever seizure of the drug, officials said on Monday.
The drug was found on 19 June in plastic tubs buried in underground bunkers hidden beneath three shipping containers on a semi-rural property in the suburb of Londonderry on in western Sydney, the Queensland Joint Organised Crime Taskforce said in a statement.
The containers had false floors that provided access to the cocaine, which police estimate had a street value of 816 million Australian dollars (€499 million).
