Meth found in McMuffin during traffic stop, police say

Detectives in Broome, Australia, discovered methylamphetamine concealed inside a breakfast sandwich during a traffic stop in August. Additionally, a man was charged with carrying methylamphetamine and a knife outside a fast-food establishment. Both individuals are set to appear in court soon following these incidents. The police have shared video footage of the moment they allegedly uncovered a ziplock bag containing methylamphetamine within a McDonald's breakfast sandwich during a traffic stop at Cable Beach.

Upon opening the sandwich, officers found a small ziplock bag filled with white powder identified as methylamphetamine. The driver of the vehicle, an unidentified 39-year-old man from Derby, was arrested on August 20 and charged with possession of a prohibited drug with the intent to sell or supply. Detective Senior Sergeant Trisha Stjepic noted that people are employing more creative methods to conceal illicit substances, with drugs no longer being left openly.

She emphasized the importance of thorough searches during traffic stops, as suspects are employing various techniques to hide items, including hiding drugs in rubbish bags in car trunks. The McMuffin discovery was one of two fast-food-related drug cases in Broome in August, alongside another incident where a 21-year-old man was found in possession of cannabis, methylamphetamine, and a knife at a fast-food outlet.

The suspect had traveled 2,080 kilometers from Perth with the intent to sell and distribute prohibited drugs within the Broome area. Senior Sergeant Stjepic stated that the suspect fled from police, leading to his arrest. Both men are scheduled to appear in court later this month over the unrelated incidents. Broome police have been intensifying their efforts against the methylamphetamine trade throughout the year, focusing on targeting those involved in the sale and supply of illicit drugs within the community, as stated by Senior Sergeant Stjepic.
