It’s two years since the body of a diver was found floating near dozens of kilograms of cocaine believed to have been smuggled into the Port of Newcastle, and police are renewing calls to help find a second diver who’s still missing.
31-year-old Brazillian diver, Bruno Borges Martins entered Australia 12 days before the grim discovery was made on May 9 2022.
Superyacht owner James Blake Blee and his son James Lake-Kusviany Blee remain before the courts charged over an alleged $20m cocaine smuggling plot.
Detectives from Strike Force Groove say a second diver, 32-year-old Jhoni Fernandes Da Silva is still missing and his family need answers.
They’ve now released CCTV images of two vehicles – a white Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and a Toyota Townace Van which they believe is connected to the 32-year-old’s disappearance.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
