Sydney: Australian police seized a record 2.7 tonnes of cocaine in one of the country's biggest ever drug interdiction operations, causing a major blow to an alleged international drug trafficking network.

The cocaine was taken into custody after a joint investigation involving multiple law enforcement agencies after officials tracked down a suspected shipment thought to be bound for the Australian market. Officials stated that the seizure is the largest cocaine haul ever reported in Australia.

Authorities estimate that the pills have a street worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the seizure has prevented millions of individual doses from reaching communities across the country.

Many people have been arrested and charged in connection with the operation. Police believe the group is part of an organised criminal syndicate that imported substantial amounts of illicit substances into Australia.

Investigators are still looking into the network's foreign connections and are yet to rule out further arrests. Authorities praised the operation as a huge success in terms of disrupting organised crime and preventing serious harm from illegal substances.

Police said the investigation is still in progress, with officers seeking to identify everyone involved in the trafficking operation.
