Speaker 8: going to run some testa shortly.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 4: So you got to talk us through what you would
Speaker 4: do day.
Speaker 1: To day in your job essentially, well, it's it's pretty varied,
Speaker 1: but we investigate locally manufactured drugs within victory.
Speaker 3: And is it like part of my ignorance a scene
Speaker 3: in the movies, are people like making meth in bathtubs
Speaker 3: and houses and stuff?
Speaker 6: Yes like that, Yeah, they are.
Speaker 5: They're making myth in houses, and making myth in beery
Speaker 5: chipping containers, and making myth in farm sheds, garages, pretty
Speaker 5: much anywhere you can think of.
Speaker 2: I think it's safe to save people. I was just
Speaker 2: going to say, people could see how this stuff is made.
Speaker 2: It's the last thing they'd put in their system, isn't it.
Speaker 8: Absolutely Yeah, it's all synthetic made, synthetically made, it's all chemicals. Yeah,
Speaker 8: really dangerous.
Speaker 3: And so by the time you guys get the call
Speaker 3: to go and I don't know what you call check
Speaker 3: out all lab has someone already found it, or they're like,
Speaker 3: we're suspected that there's suspicious activity happening in this house
Speaker 3: and then you guys go and kick the door down.
Speaker 8: Yeah, pretty much. We're a bit of a one stop
Speaker 8: shop at our office. We get the intel, we investigate it,
Speaker 8: we do the raids, and then we prosecute the offenders.
Speaker 8: Our process are scene which can be long if it's
Speaker 8: a bigger lab, and then we process the offenders.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just what happens to the goods.
Speaker 8: Well, they get taken out to a hazardous management at
Speaker 8: a location and destroyed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't go let twenty percent off for the
Speaker 2: Christmas party and then.
Speaker 6: Basically not So what's happening underground here in Melbourne? We
Speaker 6: have we got a scourge? Is there is there a
Speaker 6: problem or is it something that's happening right the way
Speaker 6: around Australia right the way around the world.
Speaker 8: I think there's no secret that there's a significant drug
Speaker 8: problem in Australia in general.
Speaker 4: You know, look at our borders.
Speaker 8: We're in Ireland, so it's easy to import in here
Speaker 8: and there's a lot of chemicals that come into this
Speaker 8: country which I used to manufacture methamphetam.
Speaker 5: Very high demand in Australian prices are high, which makes
Speaker 5: it there's a lot of incentive for people out there
Speaker 5: to righty and manufactured drugs or import drugs.
Speaker 3: So what's the worst scene you've walked into? Most of
Speaker 3: you would have seen it, all right, Is there one
Speaker 3: thing that comes to mind you've walked in and gone,
Speaker 3: I cannot believe what I'm looking at?
Speaker 2: Ah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's been so that you can everything from what
Speaker 5: we call addiction based really small labs, and some people
Speaker 5: work really neat, really methodical. Some people are really well educated,
Speaker 5: got science backgrounds, and some just mayhem. There's just stuff everywhere,
Speaker 5: contaminants everywhere. They're contaminated, Like you take their clothes off
Speaker 5: and they're still sitting off.
Speaker 6: Not hiding it.
Speaker 2: It's just full blown lab. Yeah.
Speaker 5: They're definitely trying to conceal Yeah. Yeah, so, and they'll
Speaker 5: go to great lengths to try and keep it concealed.
Speaker 5: Just stick them in like sort of industrial areas or
Speaker 5: rural areas to try and hide it because they can
Speaker 5: be pretty smelly and pretty well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there any telltale signs that you might see from
Speaker 2: someone's house that might give an indication that they're cooking
Speaker 2: something up in there.
Speaker 8: Generally, the chemical smell gives it away and and a
Speaker 8: lot of people just write it.
Speaker 2: Off as cleaning products and stuff.
Speaker 8: You're right or yeah, it's you know, they're just the
Speaker 8: suspicious behavior around.
Speaker 2: You've got a crazy cat lady next door, but you
Speaker 2: don't see any cats. There's a good chance she's cooked.
Speaker 5: Especially if she's put up about fifteen security cameras.
