Federal police say they have thwarted a $760 million cocaine smuggling operation by a bikie club, with a gang leader among 13 people charged. Brisbane ’s chapter of the Comanchero outlaw motorcycle gang was behind the biggest-ever plan to import cocaine in the country, Australia n Federal Police allege. But the operation was foiled after law enforcement agencies intercepted the handover of the drugs from the mother ship to the daughter vessel near K’gari on Saturday night.
34 tonnes of cocaine estimated to be worth $760 million or 11.7 million individual street deals. Police arrested three men at a fast food restaurant in Hervey Bay linked to the conspiracy and three more men and two youths during a traffic stop in Bundaberg East. Officers searched a house at Victoria Point, east of Brisbane, and arrested a 51-year-old man linked to the drug importation plot. “He’s very much part of the organising group of this importation,” Commander Jay said.
