">My Big World Of Crap

Shipping a speedboat to Canberra proved the undoing of 3 rather stupid criminals. Canberra, for those of you not locals, is not on the coast, does not have a river of any size and nowhere really where anyone could use a speedboat.

So, Customs decided to xray the boat being imported into Australia, basically because they considered it unusual for a boat to be sent to landlocked Canberra. These x-rays revealed the boat contained 46 kg of methamphetamine, ie “ice”, with a street value of around $17m.

The boat was then put under surveillance by the AFP. On Monday, the boat was delivered to a property in western Sydney, where police later raided and arrested the 3 genuises. Jay Heathcote, 25, Luke Burnett, 25, and Ngoc Pham, 23, were charged in Sydney’s Central Local Court yesterday, accused of attempting to import the drug.

Next time, fellas … ship the boat full of drugs to a coastal address, at least somewhere you’re likely to be actually able to use it for its legitimate purpose.
