In case you haven’t been watching the news, it seems the War On Drugs is nearly over.
And in a weird turn of events, it looks like our cops and legislators will be the winners!
This comes after nearly 40 years of them losing the war by a very large margin, to the point where most people were wondering why we’d even declared war against drugs in the first place.
But it seems all of that has changed, with momentum shifting back into the favour of those that are Anti-Drugs.
This comes after Betoota’s crack police squad, Operation Troodon, made one of the biggest drug busts in the history of policing last night.
What appeared to locals as nothing more than a nondescript fishing boat in the Betoota Marina, actually turned out to be the final piece to a highly organised drug trafficking syndicate that has been smuggling illegal narcotics into our peaceful regional town for nearly two years.
Inspector Kraig Carton from Betoota Police station says this could actually be the biggest bust in the whole entire world.
“The incredible work of our officers has shut down yet another avenue for the underworld to make money from crime.”
“And I wouldn’t be surprised if, when the dust settles, we find that the underworld no longer exists”
“We’ve cut the head off the snake. This is a major blow to organised crime as we know it. Internationally”
As the most senior police officer at Betoota station, Inspector Kraig Carton is one of the few cops who understands the full extent of the havoc that these drugs may have caused if they ended up on the streets.
“We’ve estimated a street value of one hundred trillion dollars for this bust. That’s one hundred trillion dollars worth of drugs that could be circulating hand-to-hand in the Betoota suburbs for the next 100 years”
“If our officers weren’t there to pounce on this 30 footer that quietly pulled into our harbour last night, then it would have hit the streets. But they were there. And it means the bad guys have lost”
It is not yet known what metric the Betoota Police have been using for the $100 million valuation, which seems like a lot of money for 60 vaccum sealed 1 kilogram plastic bags of cannabis, but the cops insist that drugs are way more profitable than the law abiding public think.
