Record breaking cocaine seizure

Social Media Advisor from New Zealand Police

A joint international operation involving Australian Federal Police and New Zealand Customs Service has resulted in the arrest of a 41-year-old Sydney man and the seizure of approximately 190kg of cocaine making it New Zealand's largest cocaine seizure.

On Monday, 20 August 2018, a container listed as a shipment of bananas arrived in Auckland, New Zealand, on a vessel from Balboa, Panama.

New Zealand Customs and Police inspected the container and found five duffel bags on top of the banana boxes, which contained 190 blocks of cocaine each weighing around a kilogram that had been wrapped in packaging tape.
