3.2 tons of cocaine found floating in the Pacific Ocean

New Zealand authorities recovered 3.2 tons or 3200 kg of cocaine floating in the Pacific Ocean. It is believed that these cocaines were being transported to Australia. The recovered cocaine has a market value of over $300 million.

Qatar-based media Al-Jazeera reported this information in a report on Wednesday (February 8).

Police said 81 bales of cocaine were found floating in the Pacific Ocean several hundred kilometers off New Zealand's northwest coast. In the picture, the cocaine is tied with a net and a yellow float is attached to it. Some bells had the Batman logo on them and the packets had four-leaf clovers on them.

The cocaine was recovered in a joint operation by the New Zealand Customs Service and the Five Ice Alliance. In addition to New Zealand, the remaining members of the Five Ice Alliance are Australia, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

"We believe these cocaines were being transported to Australia," Coster said. With these, the market could be handled there for a year. And if used in New Zealand, it took more than 30 years.

A photo released by the police shows the seized cocaine tied with netting and a yellow float attached to it. Some bells had the Batman logo on them and the packets had four-leaf clovers on them.
