Drug traffickers get quite creative when moving drugs, but this one was a total bust…

A whopping $645,000 worth of cocaine was reportedly found hidden inside children’s books imported from Sydney from Portugal. According to Australian Border Force officers, they found 1.72kg of cocaine of cocaine during a routine X-ray. The shipments were expected to arrive on May 1 and May 4.

An undisclosed Vaucluse resident, age 31, was arrested in connection with the illegal activity. The massive drug bust prompted a search of a home. Potentially incriminating items including electronic sources, documents and a small amount of cannabis were seized in the process.

The man is scheduled to appear in Central Local Court on Tuesday for importing “a commercial quantity of a border-controlled drug.” In addition, he’s been issued with two cannabis citations.

That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
