Astonishing occurrence The weird explanation behind Australian police destroying HUNDREDS of alcohol cans with an excavator is as follows: Police destroyed 48 beer cases, 6 premix cases, and 44 liquor bottles.
Photos depict Washington authorities destroying illegal alcohol with an excavator.
The alcohol was confiscated in Fitzroy Valley, where pre-packaged alcohol is prohibited.
Alcohol in pre-packaged containers was outlawed in 2007 after 55 alcohol-related deaths.
In a stunning crackdown on alcohol smuggling into alcohol-restricted Indigenous villages, police were photographed running over hundreds of beer bottles and beverages.
The Western Australia Police Force stated in a Facebook post on Thursday that the wine was confiscated because it was driven into the Fitzroy Valley, a predominantly Indigenous and alcohol-restricted settlement.
The post stated, “Police destroyed 48 cases of beer, 6 cases of premix, and 44 bottles of spirits illegally carried into the Fitzroy Valley.”
Do not weep over spilled Bush Chook.
The WA Police Force published photographs of officers using an excavator to crush hundreds of alcohol bottles.
Photos depict the ground being flooded with illegal alcohol that was apprehended attempting to enter the Fitzroy Valley region.
In certain locations of north-west Washington, citizens are limited to carrying one carton of beer, cider, or pre-mixed spirits per day.
Among those destroyed were several bottles of Bundaberg Rum, Coopers Ale, and Emu Export lager.
Alcohol laws have a long history in the region. Under the Marulu Strategy, pre-packaged or “take out” alcohol was banned in the Fitzroy Valley in 2007.
During that year, there were approximately 55 alcohol-related deaths in the region, and alcohol-fueled domestic violence and abuse were prevalent.
One year after the prohibition, alcohol-related injuries and crime were drastically reduced, according to studies.
48 cartons of beer, 6 cartons of premix, and 44 bottles of spirits were intercepted by police on their way into Fitzroy Valley, where prepackaged alcohol is prohibited.
Within two hours, nearly 3,000 social media users responded to the post in response to the devastating photographs.
“What a waste!” One commenter remarked, “It’s funny how they never show us what they do with all the seized drugs.”
Someone else said, “Is somebody going to pick up all that glass, or is it now acceptable to litter?”
I am confident that the natives could have demolished this after a day of use. Certainly, this would have save police resources,’ remarked another.
Another commented, “I hope they kept the cans, 10 cents each!”
