In their biggest-ever drug haul, New Zealand authorities seized cocaine worth more than $300 million (€279.5 million) found floating in the Pacific Ocean.
The police said it a statement it had recovered 3.5 tons of cocaine — enough to supply New Zealand for 30 years.

Terrific! I can feel the officers' adrenaline rush as they spotted the floating net knowing from experience what it held. The incident reminds me of numerous interdiction cases with the Canadian and American Navy vessels stopping suspected drug runners in the Pacific and Caribbean. Their total during one operation was almost 30,000 kilos of cocaine.
