Student Arrested During Controlled Delivery Of Dark Web Drugs

On November 10, a 24-year-old university student was arrested by officers from Newtown Local Area Command, at the University of Sydney residence in Camperdown. He was arrested while collecting a package in the mail containing drugs he had ordered from the dark web. The police believe that the student planned to sell the drugs to other students. From the arrest the police seized just over 21g of Xanax and LSD, 15.8g of MDMA, 14.9g of cannabis and a replica pistol.

The police spokeswoman said the officers used a range of tactics to monitor and detect the sale of prohibited drugs, she however did not comment on how they were monitoring the dark web.

The student has been charged with three counts of; supplying a prohibited drug and possession of prohibited drugs, possession or attempt to possess restricted drugs and possessing a replica firearm. The arrested student whose identity has not been revealed will face court on November 28.

A University of Sydney spokeswoman said the staff were helping the police with their investigation. The spokeswoman also said that if found guilty the student is faced with potential suspension or expulsion.

The arrest comes months after the Australian Border Force (ABF) assigned investigators to the dark web in a bid to identify vendors and intercept the illicit goods packages before they get to the buyers. The ABF has particularly increased screening of packages entering Australia through its borders resulting to seizure of packaged drugs and subsequent arrests. In March a joint operation by the AFP and the ABF resulted in the seizure of 540 kilograms of methamphetamine concealed within 396 bottles labelled as protein powder. The seizure resulted to the arrest of 8 people.

"21g of Xanax and LSD?"

Can someone explain this? Did they just throw the bars and tabs on a scale? Lol. Or Xanax powder maybe, but that doesn't explain the LSD?

So that means the package was less than a half oz of whatever substance it was.

Why would he buy a replica pistol on the DNM when you can get one legally? Love how they felt that that was relevant. Replicas are legal so who gives a fuck?
