Australian police arrest 13, seize 2.3 tons of cocaine on a boat
NBCDEC 1 2024
This cocaine bust underscores Australia's intensified efforts to combat drug smuggling. While the government prevented almost 12M cocaine sales through just one boat operation, private groups like Crime Stoppers Australia are educating the public on how they can help — resulting in hundreds of arrests and significant asset seizures. Australia is where drug crime comes to an end.
While the government should be applauded for conducting successful drug busts, that doesn't take away the fact that crime within Australian borders is still on the rise. From biker gang violence to armed robberies at retail shops, the police have been ordered by politicians not to stop these crimes. If these trends continue, Australia faces a future of debilitating social disorder.
