I'm just wondering how dumb drug dealers are, there is always a sting at this time of year. So how the hell are you going to get away with moving "700,000" ever heard of a little at a tiime

You'd like to think that if a bust this size has happened then there must be hell of a lot of others that size that get through.
But, dang, this time I don't know, 700,000 is a LOT.

The pale pink-and-green tablets were packaged and concealed inside lengths of PVC piping which were hidden in cardboard boxes.
thats what the story said...

I read that the pills are believed to have been imported from the Netherlands, and further investigations could lead to more arrests in Australia and the Netherlands.
In a picture in The Cairns Post, Dec 28th, there is a picture of a police officer holding up a pink pill with what looks to me like the top of a crown or the wings of a dove.
can't really tell though, but there is a distinctive zig zag pattern on it, which led me to think of the top of a crown.
anyway, we will probably never know what they are and how good they were. but if they were from the Netherlands, that leads me to belive the cops have some high grade pills in their evidence room, and probably in some of their pockets too!

i was sitting around with a bunch of friends when it came on the news and probabley like most of you we 'ohh man if i only i could get my hands on a bug or too of those babies' then into the discussion about what they could have been, maybe my sight is going but i thought i saw pale blue and green pills, i heard that there is a new batch of CU's coming, so we were hoping that they are, eventually they will end up on the streets!!

Today I heard a rumor that a significant number of these big busts contain batches of potentially deadly pills that were being watched. Make of that what you will. It's the first time I heard such a statement made.
