Anzac Tiger operation seizes $23m worth of illegal substances
A New Zealand-led military task force has recently wrapped up a joint operation with Australia and seized more than 23 million dollars' worth of illicit drugs in the Middle East. Called Anzac Tiger, staff from both countries identified contacts of interest and boarded ships where crew were exhibiting suspicious activity. Altogether, the task force seized more than 2500 kgs of narcotics. The mission of the military group is to stop weapons, drugs and other illicit substances being moved around in the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman. Commodore Rodger Ward is the commander of the Combined Task Force 150 and talks to Stacey Morrison.
