Authorities in Australia’s New South Wales released bodycam footage on April 11, 2023, showing a raid on an illegal tobacco plantation, whose crop is reportedly worth up to US$28 million. Local police warned of a booming trend in the use of illegal plantations to fund criminal activities among syndicates. Growing tobacco has been outlawed in the country for a decade.
