Police found cocaine stashed in dealer Sonja Christian’s bra during drug crack down in Sydney’s east

Sonja Christian, in a panic, told police she was a prostitute when they asked why a man had got into her car in Bondi but her story fell apart when the officers found 24.8 grams of cocaine — worth at least $7200 on the street — hidden in her bra.

The economics of the Drug Trade

At first she panicked and claimed she was a prostitute when asked by police why a man had got into her car in Bondi.

But Sonja Christian’s story fell apart when officers found 24.8 grams of cocaine — worth at least $7200 on the street — concealed in her bra.

The glamorous 25-year-old was arrested last May during a major crackdown in Sydney’s east, where police merely sat on street corners in a bid to detect drug deals.

According to police facts, officers saw the man enter Christian’s Honda Civic for 30 seconds before they intercepted him and found two bags of cocaine.

Officers then stopped Christian, who told them the reason the man was in her Honda was because “she was a prostitute” and that she “knew nothing about prohibited drugs”.

But a search by police uncovered 24.8g of cocaine in her bra, 9g of cocaine in her handbag and 1.4g on the man, with a combined street value of more than $10,000.

Turning to her phone, officers discovered that she was using the encrypted messaging service Wickr to communicate with an associate, who was relaying her locations to sell the drugs.

Court documents state she also had a ledger installed on the device.

Christian — who had pleaded guilty to supplying prohibited drugs — escaped jail time last month and was instead sentenced to a twelve-month intensive correction order.

The motorbike-loving secretary from Liverpool was caught during a major investigation into the ongoing supply of cocaine.

Police charged 55 people with supply or possession, while 290g of cocaine and $63,000 in cash was seized by Strike Force Northrop.
