Detectives from the New South Wales Police Major Crimes Unit have launched an investigation into a video that surfaced earlier this week which shows NRL personality Bryan Fletcher being stitched up.
The footage, which allegedly shows Fletcher (44) looking to purchase a small zip-lock bag of what seems like an illicit substance from an ‘Uber’ driver, has been shared widely on social media.
The retired second-rower has since told the media that he was ‘stitched up’ and that he never has and never will ‘get around the Persians’.
In response to Fletcher’s statement, police have launched a probe into the scumbag who tried to tarnish the footballer’s name.
Speaking to the media a short time ago in the Harbour Capital, A NSW Police spokesman has asked for the public’s help in identifying the dog in question.
“Who would do such a thing?” they asked reporters.
“The man was just trying to get a ride home and some punk tries to sell him a bag of crushed up meth, numbing agent and baby laxative for $300. What a low act! Even if he was up to no good, you don’t film a man when he’s breaking the law,”
“Even I know that. In saying that, we’re asking members of the public to come forward with any information they have regarding the identity of the dog.”
At the moment, police say no charges are likely to be laid, with Police saying they just want to ‘name and shame’ the offender.
“We feel that a trial by social media here is the best way to deal with this matter.”
More to come.
