2.8 tonnes of drugs seized in Australia ....

worth a staggering $1.5 Billion at street value.  Although the Customs police discovered the shipment in Germany, they let it proceed to the address in Australia to catch the crooks red-handed.

Who exactly are the 6 individuals arrested in this raid?  All arrested are from 23 - 34 years of age.  Dealing in drugs can either make you a millionaire many times over or land you in jail for life ... at least in Australia.
