The Australian drug smuggler was convicted after crashing into police cars in a van full of methamphetamine. Reported by CNN.
The incident took place last July. Police in Sydney heard a blow near their precinct When they got out, they found that someone had crashed into two company cars parked near him, severely damaging them, and drove away. Using surveillance cameras, they tracked down the minibus whose driver caused the accident and detained it.
26-year-old Simon Tu was driving, and in the back was a large batch of the potent substance methamphetamine – about 273 kilograms. If the drug had reached consumers, it would have cost more than $ 145 million, police said.
“Perhaps this is one of the easiest operations against drug crime in the entire existence of our police – an absolutely incredible coincidence,” Detective Glyn Baker told reporters.
The man who transported drugs received a real sentence: six and a half years in prison.
In July 2019, a video was published in which the Tu minivan crashes into police cars. By that time, law enforcement officers had not yet disclosed the details of the case.
