Man jailed for packing printer with something more expensive than toner: Cocaine

An Australian court has sentenced a man to nine years in jail for smuggling cocaine inside printers. According to a post from Australia’s Border Force and Federal Police, in 2017, “officers intercepted a consignment of five printers … locating 10 packages of compressed white powder concealed within their paper trays.” Initial tests suggested the substance was cocaine – 22.4kg of it – so Border Force swapped it out for another material and then shipped the package to its intended destination.
