An Australian Border Force officer was caught tipping drugs down the toilet during a raid - and his explanation was astounding.
An Australian Border Force (ABF) officer was caught red handed emptying two “deal bags” of white powder, suspected to be drugs, down the lavatory during a search warrant in which he was taking part.
...when caught in the act, Officer FX explained he thought it was the best way to “neutralise” the situation was to get rid of the drugs.
Officer FX was part of an ABF investigation team that had launched a raid on a home in Sydney looking for illegal goods when he abandoned his official duties to tamper with evidence that had been found.
His actions come after it was revealed last year that teams of ABF officers had been secretly given federal police powers — allowing them to execute search warrants — in a hugely controversial move.
The move sparked a behind-the-scenes stoush with the Australian Federal Police amid claims ABF recruits would lack experience and training and it was unnecessary operational creep on AFP operations.
