The discovery of 81 bales of cocaine will land a "major financial blow" to illegal drug market, Police Commissioner says. New Zealand authorities have intercepted more than three tonnes of cocaine from a vessel in the Pacific Ocean.

A media conference was held at Police National Headquarters detailing the bust. Operation Hydros - a joint mission by police, Customs and the Defence Force - seized 81 bales of the drug, totalling 3.2 tonnes, with an estimated street value of half a billion dollars.
