How stupid do you have to be?

Police discovered 8kg of cocaine worth millions of dollars during a search on a ute at the Queensland border checkpoint at the Gold Coast.

A 26-year-old Sippy Downs man has been charged with three counts of possessing dangerous drugs and one count of possession of utensils.

The man also had other drugs, including ecstasy and cannabis, revealing yet again that there are often multiple illicit drugs and dangerous materials involved in organised criminal activity.

It’s clear these guys must have been pretty desperate to get this cocaine across the border – given the risky and stupid decision to hide it in their car and try and get past police.

This isn’t the largest haul of illicit drugs but it is still a substantial amount of cocaine, which the police must have been suspicious of in the first place to do a full search of the car.
