Laurenzo Junior Suzuata found with cocaine after raid by police

A 22-year-old Maroochy River man who bizarrely discovered a whole bag of coke in a disabled toilet has found out his drugs contained only a fraction of the actual drug.

A Maroochy River factory worker had been told by police most of the cocaine he found in an Ocean St nightclub contained only a fraction of actual drugs.

Laurenzo Junior Suzuata, 22, had been found with 4.9g of white powder after police raided his Maroochy River home on May 25, 2021.

Maroochydore Magistrates Court heard Suzuata had told police he had found the drugs in a disabled toilet at the Duporth Tavern.

Police prosecutor David Bradley said it was uncommon for people to throw drugs away but said the substance in question was “not good drugs”.

Senior Sergeant Bradley said the bag only contained 7.6 per cent pure cocaine, amounting to a mere 0.34g.

The court heard Suzuata had previously been charged with possessing cocaine over schedule three quantity which was amended to a simple possession charge.

Senior sergeant Bradley said Suzuata was “moving in the wrong circles” and had a “checkered” history on his record.

Duty lawyer Liesel Rogan said the former tradie and factory worker had no history of drug offending and was only found with less than half a gram of drugs.

Suzuata pleaded guilty to possessing drugs and was fined $750.

A conviction was recorded.
