Australia Seizes Record 2.7 Tonnes of Cocaine

Australian police seized a record 2.7 tonnes of cocaine hidden in underground bunkers near Sydney, the largest haul in the country's history.

The drugs, valued at an estimated A$816 million, were discovered on a property linked to a Sydney-based crime group.

Officers found the cocaine packed in plastic tubs buried beneath false floors in a sophisticated underground storage system.

The seizure deals a major blow to organised crime networks operating in the region.
