Australian police bust heroin ring from Vietnam

Australian Associated Press reported the Australian police had taken down a drug ring using couriers to traffic heroin from Vietnam into Australia.
The police arrested eight people in raids in Victoria and New South Wales today and seized a "substantial" amount of cash, Jewelry and property.
Five of them were captured in Melbourne and the other three in suburban Sydney following thorough searches of 20 local properties.
The eight-month investigation, Operation Rattlesnake-Joinery, which involved local and federal Australian police and Vietnamese authorities, centered on an alleged drug syndicate ferrying heroin by couriers into the two states from Vietnam.
The Australian Federal Police had previously charged five internal couriers connected to the operation.
