After the tragic death of his son due to the effect of synthetic drugs, Ron Bridge, an Australian man, went undercover in order to infiltrate crime gangs in China, which were exporting the harmful substances to Australia.
Posing as a potential buyer, he was able to meet with drug bosses in the city of Hefei, where he was able to film their discussions.
During their discussions, he was offered more than five types of synthetic drugs, including one shipment that weighed 200 kilograms. The Chinese crime bosses stated that a shipment was guaranteed to arrive in Australia within seven days, according to The Telegraph.
"We have lots of experience sending packages to Australia," one of the drug sellers stated. "We know how customs works. Don't worry, Australia is safe."
The suppliers further stated that they currently ship about 100 kilograms of the drugs to Australia every month. They also demonstrated how the drugs are hidden, using sealed bags and fish tank filters, reports Channel Nine News.
The entire dialogue was filmed by hidden cameras and recording devices supplied by Channel Nine, which sent a television crew to accompany Bridge on his trip to China.
"I hope the undercover recording will save other lives," Bridge said.
Ron Bridge's son Preston passed away on February 2013, after leaping off a balcony in Perth. He was on the synthetic LSD-style drug, 25i-NBOMe, when the incident happened. According to witnesses, the 16-year-old was under the impression that he could fly when he jumped off.
