Australia: Arrests made over million-dollar drug ring

Police say seven people have been arrested today by officers investigating a drug syndicate that has allegedly been operating in western Sydney.

Officers allege the group has been involved in the supply and distribution of cannabis and amphetamines over the past six months.

It is alleged the network's ringleader supplied $1.3 million worth of drugs.

Police say six homes, a car yard and a storage facility were raided this morning.

Investigators say five men and two women are being questioned.
