Drug ingredient planned as paint remover, man tells court

A man tells a court he wanted to clean his game figurines with a liquid which it is also alleged can be used to make illegal drugs.
* Map: Wayville 5034
A man charged with importing an ingredient that can be used to make the drug fantasy claims he bought it to remove the paint from game figurines.
The commonwealth prosecutor has argued that the man could have used household products, such as nail polish remover, instead.
A court has been told that Andrew Michael Page ordered 700 milligrams of 'Magiclean' from a United Kingdom-based website last year.
It contained gamma-butyrolactone, the main ingredient of the illegal drug GBH, or fantasy.
The man has told an Adelaide court he knew a permit was needed to import the liquid but had paid $200 for it, planning to sort out any customs problems after its arrival.
Customs officers raided his house in the Adelaide suburb of Wayville and charged him.
Page, 28, says he wanted the substance to clean rust from his weights and a bicycle and to remove paint from tiny plastic and pewter figurines from his game Warhammer.
Page claims he is allergic to other chemicals and they had not proved effective.
The case continues.
If the victim is a BL, and wants to PM me, feel free...

Police seize ecstasy, fantasy
Update....
December 03, 2007 01:00am
Article from: The Daily Telegraph
* Deals allegedly made at ARQ club
* Police observed woman during sting
* 'You've got me', she allegedly said
A 47-year-old woman has allegedly been caught with more than 80 vials of the party drug fantasy and 182 ecstasy tablets in a police sting on a well-known Sydney nightclub.
Paula Ann Riley, who has also used the surnames Williams and Murdoch, was seen making a number of alleged drug deals at the Flinders St nightclub ARQ on Saturday night, a court heard yesterday.
About 9pm (AEDT), police saw Riley sitting at a table in the club, where she was approached by patrons, Parramatta Bail Court heard yesterday.
"On each occasion the person approaching (Riley) would have a short conversation with her before handing her a quantity of money," police documents tendered to the court revealed.
"She then reached into a brown handbag on the table ... then discreetly removed items and handed them under the table to the persons who had given her the money."
In one instance, a man without a shirt was allegedly seen to purchase tablets from her and then return to a group of fellow male patrons.
"These males put these items into their mouths and appeared to swallow," police allege.
"Police believe that these were drug transactions."
Shortly before 11pm, Riley was seen to leave the premises, and she was arrested outside.
She allegedly said to police: "You've got me, I'm not going to run. I've got pills in my bag."
Two men aged 29 and 33 were also charged after allegedly being involved in a drug sale.
It is claimed Riley had 182 ecstasy tablets, 84 vials of fantasy, 3.4g of cocaine and 0.3g of ketamine powder. She was charged with supplying a commercial quantity of drugs and possessing prohibited drug.
She denied all charges.
Applying for bail, her legal aid lawyer said Riley's son could provide some surety, she had lived in her Leichhardt housing commission home for 20 years and did not have a passport.
Magistrate Kevin Flack remanded Riley to appear in Central Local Court on Thursday.

NEWS: Police sniff out offenders on highway -- Tweed Daily -- 03.12.2007

Police sniff out offenders on highway
03.12.2007
By Samantha Healy
MOTORISTS were reportedly in high spirits yesterday as police waved them towards the Random Breath Test van, but some were probably left wishing they had cleaned out their car.
Cannabis, vehicle defects and at least one driver who had had one drink too many, were discovered during the all-day operation, which involved uniformed police, detectives, highway patrol officers and Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) officers, who all joined forces for the first of many operations to be conducted in the lead-up to Christmas.
Dubbed Strike Force Banglelong, police hit the highway early, setting up at the RTA check point in the southbound lanes of the Pacific Highway at Chinderah.
[-=|Picture will be insertered here later|=-] <- scanners fucked!
Cars were directed to the side road where drivers were breathalysed, their vehicles scrutinised and checked for defects.
A single police drug detection dog, which made the trip up from Sydney, waved its well-trained nose throughout each vehicle, looking for any traces of illegal substances.
Inspector Owen King of Tweed/Byron LAC said the two-day operation was set-up to target drug and traffic offences along the highway, but was not a response to recent reports of cross-border drug trafficking.
"There was no specific intelligence. We run operations like this when we have the resources to do so," Insp King said.
"And it coincides with the unofficial end of schoolies but we are also looking for any movements of drugs, drink drivers, defective vehicles, and traffic offences."
Detective Senior Constable Gary Ponting said the mood of most motorists had been positive, with frontline officers saying drivers were happy to see them out on the roads conducting operations.
But while some were happy to see the thin blue line, others would not have been quite so eager.
"We have found small amounts of cannabis and one driver with a low range PCA," Det Snr Const Ponting said.
"We have found a lot of traffic offences however. Mainly license and registration offences and a number of unroadworthy vehicles."
"But we will know more when we look at the figures."
Strike Force Banglelong will continue today, with police conducting operations until 8pm in accordance with a search warrant.

6kg of coke found in plane toilet
December 04, 2007 07:20am
Article from: AAP
ALMOST six kilograms of cocaine has been found dumped in an aircraft toilet cubicle at Sydney airport.
The Boeing 747 was searched by Customs officers on Sunday morning after arriving in Sydney from Los Angeles.
Officers and specialist dog teams found 12 blocks of shrink-wrapped white powder in a garbage bin in one of the toilet cubicles.
The powder was later confirmed as 5.7 kilograms of cocaine with an estimated street value of $660,000.
Customs manager Gayle Brown said the drugs had been handed over to the Australian Federal Police.
"It's pretty obvious that whoever planned to import these drugs got cold feet at some stage," she said.
Ms Brown said Customs officers focus on checking passengers but also regularly search international aircraft.
"This latest detection provides another good example of why we need to continue carrying out these physical checks."
