- Australian police uncover 3 tons of cocaine
Australian police discovered 2.7 metric tons of cocaine buried in underground bunkers on a property in Sydney's outskirts, marking the country's largest-ever cocaine seizure. Two men were arrested and face life imprisonment, while the drug's street value is estimated at 816 million Australian dollars. The shipment is linked to a Belize-flagged cargo ship suspected of smuggling drugs to Queensland.
