CAMDEN - A former South Jersey man has admitted his role in an international drug-smuggling ring, authorities say.

In a virtual court hearing Tuesday, Doyduk admitted ring members used aliases and falsely labeled packages for illegal exports to customers abroad. Shipments included barrels and magazines for 9mm, .40 caliber and .357 caliber Glock handguns, the federal prosecutor s office said in a statement.
The ring operated from at least November 2018 to March 2019, the statement alleged.
