Dozens charged in Sydney cocaine crackdown

As she was led to a paddy wagon, an accused Bondi coke dealer made it clear what she felt about the situation. But one cop was having none of it.

In one of the most Bondi moments of all time, an accused cocaine dealer was dealt a stunning response from a cop as she was arrested.

She was one of two women, aged 26 and 30, from the affluent suburb who allegedly had $22,000 in envelopes in their car along with cocaine, cannabis and mobile phones in a hidden compartment.

As she was arrested and led, handcuffed to a paddy wagon, she made her feelings clear — saying “I don’t really appreciate this”.

However, the no-nonsense cop arresting her, served her an ice cold smackdown, saying “well, you shouldn’t be involved in drug supply then should you?”
