7NEWS Australia published this video item, entitled “Nathan Baggaley’s drug boat turned into Queensland Water Police craft | 7NEWS” – below is their description.
It was purchased by disgraced Olympian Nathan Baggaley in 2018 to smuggle cocaine into Australia, but this boat is now being used by Queensland Water Police instead.
Its upgrades cost only a third of the price of a brand new vessel, and it can now be seen cruising waters off the South East coast, performing compliance checks and RBTs.
“It’s about $100,000-$150,000 to buy so it’s not cheap. That’s a significant saving to taxpayers too. We’ve managed to use those proceeds of crime, so to speak, to be able to serve the community.” – Chris Waters, Australian Border Force.
