The crew of a vessel that was intercepted in the Pacific Ocean carrying nearly 5 tonnes of cocaine has been escorted off the ship by Australian authorities. An Australian Border Force (ABF) spokesperson said that its officers boarded the MV Raider this morning and detained all 11 crew members, who have now been transferred to an immigration detention centre. The ABC understands that MV Raider has been monitored by the ABF since January 2026. A reason for the crew's detention was not provided.
