Two Men & 40kg Cocaine Pull Off $14M NSW-to-Vic Road Trip Fail

In a bold display of questionable life choices, two blokes got charged by Victoria Police after a 40kg cocaine stash — worth a casual $14 million — was found in their car speeding across the NSW border back into Victoria. This nix-the-career plan didn’t exactly pan out overnight. Authorities swooped like they had insider info (or just really good eyes) and halted what can only be described as an ambitious, if poorly disguised, drug road trip. The precise timing? Overnight, because criminals apparently don't do afternoon tea. The vehicle was their unwilling mule, packed tighter than a suitcase on a budget airline. Suddenly, being a 'carry-on' means something much more badass in Australian crime circles.
