Authorities in Australia dominated a grim news cycle, announcing what they say is the nation’s largest-ever cocaine seizure after uncovering roughly 2.7 tonnes buried in bunkers beneath a semi-rural Sydney property, a haul valued at hundreds of millions of dollars and linked to an alleged organised crime importation network. In Sydney, police also charged a Year 2 teacher over alleged possession of child abuse material after raiding a school and seizing electronic devices, in a case that remains before the courts. In Britain, investigators and rail officials are dealing with the aftermath of the Bedford crash that injured about 100 people, as British Transport Police named the driver who died as 60-year-old Shaun Burton and released tributes from his devastated family. And in sport, Wyndham Clark held his nerve at Shinnecock Hills, surviving late pressure and a hostile crowd to win the U.S. Open by a stroke.
