In a Queensland suburb, cops are raiding a suspected dealer's home. The suspect alerted police. They know he could be flushing vital evidence, or worse, setting up a trap. They go in hard, but not hard enough. The front door has been specially reinforced.

"Place search warrant!"

"Come downstairs!"

He's behind you, back hands behind your back. Although he's playing innocent, he's been watching the cops all along. What he doesn't realize is that they've been watching him too.

"Alright, we're at the back corner. It's a two-story house, and we heard the back window start to open. So we just sort of looked up and saw a guy's arm come out with a black box. To look, moneybox reached out and strummed it, and it went over into the neighbor's trees and then just fell to the ground. It's just over that back fence."

They confronted something in there that he didn't want them to find. In the box? Money and ice found nearby—a lethal surprise.

"We seized a loaded .45 caliber handgun with hollow-point bullets in it. Hollow points are obviously concerning for us in terms of that it does more damage. It has more stopping power. I think we're pretty lucky here in Australia in that this is a rare find."

They also seized what appears to be a quantity of high-grade methamphetamine in large chunks, its approximate weight just over an ounce.

"So street value anywhere between ten or fifteen thousand dollars."

And finally, approximately twenty thousand dollars cash, wrapped in thousand-dollar bundles.

Drugs, money, gun—this dealer could face more than twenty years inside jail.
