More than half a tonne of cocaine has been added to the drug bust earlier this month, which was already an “eye watering” total, police said on Friday.

About 3.2 tonnes of cocaine worth an estimated $500 million was seized at a transit point in the middle of the Pacific Ocean by a joint police, Customs and Navy operation called Operation Hydros earlier this month.

But Detective Superintendent Greg Williams, the director of the National Organised Crime Group, said on Friday the final analysis of the seized drugs had risen to 3.89 tonnes, with a wholesale value more than $580m.

“This is a significant update, as more than half a tonne of cocaine has been added to the already eye watering total previously announced,” he said.

NEARLY three tonnes of cocaine and four military-grade weapons have been seized in a major drug bust along the Guadalquivir River in Sevilla.

Spanish police reported that the men had ‘paramilitary training’ and were armed with what appeared to be Kalashnikov assault rifles.

The presence of such weapons suggests a level of organisation and capacity for violence far beyond typical drug smuggling operations.

More than 600 kilograms of suspected cocaine — roughly the weight of a concert grand piano — was discovered inside a shipment of grapes intercepted by border officers earlier this month.

The seizure took place on Oct. 15 at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont.

A spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency says an investigation is underway with law enforcement partners.

The agency declined an interview and said it doesn’t comment on the status of ongoing investigations.

CBSA hasn’t provided an estimate of the street value of the 615 kilograms, but earlier this year estimated the value of a cocaine seizure less than half this size at $6.5 million.
