Episode 4: The Tip-Offs (Part 1) Breakthrough
-
- True Crime
In this episode, we take you behind the façade of respectable Australian suburbia and into the murky world of the Dark Net, an online haven for drug dealers, gun merchants and other nefarious criminal activities. Come inside Operation Oscar Fetters, as the Synthetic Drugs Operations Unit and other cracks teams within the QPS Crime and Intelligence Command take down a multi-million-dollar drug operation, nabbing the culprit only to have him go on the run, sparking a nationwide manhunt. And we’ll reveal the critical importance of Crimestoppers as a reporting tool and how it helped bring down the empire of this internet drug kingpin on Queensland’s Gold Coast.
We thank the Yuggera people on whose land this episode of Breakthrough was produced.
