A woman who smuggled 1000 MDMA caps in her vagina and strapped to her chest will face the District Court after pleading guilty to possessing and supplying the drugs.
Ngan Vy Bui, also known as Ivy, 19, was set to make $4000 if she got three packages of MDMA into Epik music festival at Sydney Olympic Park but she was caught red-handed after a sniffer dog detected the illicit drugs at the entrance.
Court documents reveal she went to pick up the packages of drugs at a Meadowbank home in Sydney’s north an hour before the festival.
There she picked up two bags of 400 capsules which were to be put in her bra and one bag of 200 capsules which she was told to insert inside herself using a condom.
She then got an Uber to Olympic Park station and was to meet up with someone in the festival to hand over the drugs for $4000.
When she arrived at The Dome at about 6.20pm on December 14 a cop approached her after a sniffer dog indicated she had drugs.
“So what drugs do you have on you and where are they?” the cop said.
“MDMA,” Bui replied.
“How much do you have on you?”
“I don’t know,” Bui said.
When the cop asked if she had a “big or small amount” Bui said “It’s for me.”
“In your vagina is it?” the cop asked to which Bui nodded.
After she was questioned by police she admitted she had 1000 MDMA tablets “strapped to her chest and inserted into her vagina.”
“200 of which were inserted into her vagina,” according to facts.
After a search she handed over a white bag that was inside her and two vacuum sealed bags where a total of 1001 MDMA capsules weighing 129 grams were identified with a purity of 76.5 per cent.
Following her police search and interview Bui was again caught with more drugs after a “small bag of white powder fell out from the sleeve of her jumper” when using a custody phone.
It was later identified to be 0.31 grams of Ketamine and Bui told police she had paid $200 for it “for a friend.”
Bui has pleaded guilty to one count of supplying a prohibited drug greater than an indictable quantity and one count of possessing a prohibited drug at Burwood Local Court and is committed for sentence.
She will face Downing Centre District Court for the first time next week.
