THE drug busts have kept rolling on across the Coffs Coast with another multi-million dollar cannabis seizure near Coffs Harbour announced today.
Coffs Harbour Target Action Group officers have made the significant haul in the Bongil Bongil National Park.
Police say detectives acted on public information, and with the assistance of the Dog Unit, to locate 1395 mature cannabis plans, with an estimated street value of $2.79 million.
The haul came after an extensive ground search of the forest to the west of the National Park, near Slarkes Rd, on Friday.

The plants were seized and subsequently destroyed.
Police are continuing their investigations into the cultivation and are attempting to identify and find those responsible for the cannabis crop.
Anyone with information that could assist police with their inquiries or noticed suspicious activity in the vicinity of Slarkes Road is asked to contact Coffs Harbour detectives or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
This most recent seizure follows an operation across the Mid North Coast, which last week netted $4.3 million in cannabis, and an aerial search of the Coffs Harbour hinterland last month which uncovered $6 million worth of the drug growing on private and crown land.
