‘Alice Springs police seized 58 casks of wine yesterday from a residence in Gillen, allegedly destined for secondary supply in and around Alice Springs,’ Police wrote on Facebook.
Members from the Southern Investigations Division raided an Alice spring property on Friday.
They found the goon sacks, which had been taken out of the boxes and placed into the back of a vehicle ready for distribution.
