Ship crew involved in French Polynesia cocaine bust sent to immigration detention

In short:

Australian Border Force officers have boarded a vessel that was intercepted by French Polynesian authorities and found carrying nearly 5 tonnes of cocaine.

Crew members of the MV Raider, which is now moored in Sydney Harbour, have been transferred to an immigration detention centre.

After intercepting the MV Raider earlier this year, French Polynesian authorities allowed it to continue sailing to Australia after dumping the drugs at sea.
