Tonne of ice seized on yacht off NSW coast
A tonne of drugs worth up to $750 million that was destined for Australia has been seized after police and immigration officers swooped on a yacht just off the NSW coast without two men on board knowing what was happening.
Police and Border Force launched operation Romani on Thursday after New Caledonian authorities advised them about a vessel of interest the previous day, which had allegedly been in waters near Norfolk Island and then had travelled to the French territory. Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Justine Gough said the original intelligence from New Caledonian authorities had shown "some irregularities on the hull of the vessel" in its waters, indicating it might have rubbed against another vessel in high seas elsewhere., somewhere off the coast of Norfolk Island," she said.
