Police make $15m ecstasy haul in Sydney
Thursday Jun 22 09:08 AEST
Police say they have cracked a major ecstasy syndicate, seizing up to $15 million worth of the drug in raids across eastern Sydney.
At least 250,000 tablets, or 55kg, of ecstasy were seized during raids this week at Coogee, Maroubra and Zetland.
Police minister Carl Scully said several people had been arrested, and the leaders of the syndicate had allegedly been caught.
"(Through) a very very substantial sting ... a drug cartel has now been broken up," Mr Scully told Macquarie Radio.
The tablets have an estimated street value of between $12.5 million and $15 million.
Two tablet presses and a large sum of cash were also seized, said a spokeswoman for Police Commissioner Ken Moroney.
Two men had been arrested and were before the courts, she said.
