Pubdate: Tue, 01 Feb 2000 Source: Australian Associated Press (Australia) Copyright: 2000 Australian Associated Press SIX ARRESTED AS POLICE NET $100M IN COCAINE IN YACHT Australia's largest cocaine haul, believed to be worth more than $100 million, was seized by police and customs officers from a yacht on the New South Wales central coast today. Six men were arrested in the raid at Patonga, south of Gosford, early this morning, an Australian Federal Police (AFP) spokeswoman said. Federal Customs Minister Amanda Vanstone confirmed the haul was expected to yield twice the 225 kilograms snared off Coffs Harbour, on the state's mid-north coast, in December 1998. On that occasion, $50 million worth of cocaine was discovered in the lining of a fibreglass runabout attached to a yacht. Senior AFP agents were scheduled to reveal details of today's seizure around 3pm (AEDT), the AFP spokeswoman said. Several of the arrested men were expected to appear in Sydney's Central Local Court this afternoon, she said. Meanwhile, the 14 metre vessel was being towed back to Sydney. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
