Three men have been arrested following the seizure of about $20 million worth of cocaine.

Police say 45 kilograms of cocaine was found hidden in a jukebox imported into Melbourne from Greece.

The consignment was taken to a residential property in Sunshine North, where police swooped.

A 39-year-old Spotswood man, 26-year-old Reservoir man and a 66-year-old Greek foreign national were all arrested by police on Tuesday.

Police also two other residential properties and two commercial premises, seizing two Mercedes-Benz vehicles, a Harley Davidson motorbike, watches, jewellery, clothing, as well as various drugs and a significant quantity of cash.

The two Australian nationals have been charged with importation of a commercial quantity of border-controlled drugs and attempted possession of a commercial quantity of border-controlled drugs.

They faced Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 22 June and were remanded in custody.

The 66-year-old Greek national was released pending further enquiries.

The arrests formed part of a four-month investigation into the alleged importation of drugs by a Melbourne-based organised crime syndicate.
