Police seized a whopping 2.34 tonnes of cocaine with an estimated street value of $760 million from a vessel off the coast of Queensland on Saturday. The operation, named Operation Tyrrendor , began in November following a tip-off that the Comanchero bikie gang was allegedly planning to import drugs into the country. Police tracked a fishing boat as it met a mothership that was suspected to contain the cocaine.
The 11 men, aged between 20 and 57, and two juveniles were arrested and charged with conspiracy to import a commercial quantity of border-controlled drugs
