You again Jr!!!!
I cannot understand how someone is being charged more for cannabis than illegal firearms
Any names on the container of suspected controlled drugs which were seized?
What a waste of limited resoures for weed awa in 2023.
Marine Police should have a catch and release policy if its weed found and continue they patrol.
Cocaine, weed, and fentanyl
