Singapore's most notorious estate gets yet another incident to add to their regularly updated archives — a Yishun resident was apparently involved in a syndicate that attempted to smuggle over $64.6 million worth of cocaine into Australia.
Barry Zheng — listed as the director of a local firm that deals in computer hardware and accessories — is allegedly part of a drug smuggling syndicate that was busted last month, reports The Age. After authorities raided a whaling vessel about 1,300km off the coast of Tasmania, enforcement teams found around 180kg of cocaine on the Kaiyo Maru No. 8. The ship loitered off the coast as a floating base to offload drugs onto smaller boats, which would transport them to shore.
