<p>“Our officers were able to coordinate the tracking and surveillance of this drug-smuggling submarine through the Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre in Lisbon, utilising law enforcement and military naval and aerial assets.</p>
<p>“Seizures like this are vital in disrupting and dismantling transnational crime groups trafficking deadly drugs, and ultimately protecting the public from the damage they cause.”</p>
