New Zealand Police Commissioner Andrew Koster told reporters on Wednesday that the shipment of drugs weighed 3.2 tons and was worth $316 million, according to French news agency AFP.
"New Zealand authorities have uncovered the largest shipment of illegal drugs," he said. Authorities believe the drugs were offloaded at a "floating transit point" in the Pacific Ocean, from where they were picked up and shipped to Australia. He had to go.
In a photo released by the police, a net was stretched around such a large load. Police Commissioner Andrew Koster said: "We believe the destination of this shipment was Australia, where it is an annual market." "That's more than New Zealand will consume in 30 years."

A Five Eyes Alliance-backed naval vessel sailing hundreds of miles northwest of New Zealand intercepted the broadcast.
The decades-old Five Eyes Alliance is an intelligence network made up of the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. Authorities say it's too early to say where the drugs came from.
