Police in Western Australia charge a man after they say they find about 3.5 grams of methylamphetamine hidden in a McDonald's McMuffin breakfast sandwich during a vehicle search. Officers report the drug was in a ziplock bag wedged between the bacon and egg.
The arrest happens on 20 August as part of ongoing investigations into illicit drugs in Broome, in the Kimberley region. Both outlets describe the discovery occurring during police checking a vehicle, with the substance concealed inside the food item rather than found on the person.
Coverage is limited to the police account of how the meth is located and the basic details of the charge and timeline. Neither report provides further information about the man’s identity, the charges’ court status, or additional evidence from the investigation.
