I am pleased to say that yesterday officers of the Joint Asian Crime Group took part in a successful operation which culminated in the seizure of 141 kilograms of cocaine, with an estimated street value of approximately $68 million. This is the fifth largest cocaine seizure in Australia, which will put a significant dent in the trafficking of illicit drugs into Australia. This successful operation testifies to the technology, the dedication and the teamwork of all members of the Joint Asian Crime Group.
