A paralyzed man was reportedly discovered with cocaine hidden in his underwear.

On New Year's Eve, a group of highway patrol officers in Sydney's Inner West stumbled upon a peculiar situation. A Mercedes 4WD had run out of petrol and was stranded in the middle of the street. It seemed like the start of a wild adventure for the officers. The car was stopped on the Cooks River Bridge in Tempe, and upon further investigation, they found that two men were still inside while two others had gone to a nearby service station to get some petrol.

According to a Facebook post by the NSW Police Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, one of the passengers, a paraplegic man, appeared to be under the influence of drugs. While the others were getting fuel, the 18-year-old driver offered to move the car off the road. However, things took a dangerous turn when the driver began speeding through traffic and even ran a red light. The officers, now in pursuit, witnessed the Mercedes reaching speeds of up to 120km/h.

The high-speed chase came to an end when the 4WD crashed into a car stopped at a traffic light on Railway Road. Thankfully, no one was hurt, including the three children who were inside the car. The officers decided to pause their pursuit and check on the occupants of the other car. Meanwhile, the Mercedes continued its escape and was later caught on Sydney Park Road in Erskineville.

Upon searching the car, the officers made a shocking discovery. The disabled passenger had eight clear resealable zip lock bags of cocaine hidden in his underwear, along with a sum of cash in his backpack. He was immediately taken into custody, and the driver was also found to have traces of cocaine in his system. To make matters worse, the driver was a learner and had exceeded his demerit points, resulting in his licence being revoked.

The driver was charged with multiple offences, while the disabled passenger was taken to the hospital before being released and charged with drug supply and dealing with the proceeds of a crime. Both men were denied bail and are awaiting their court appearance. It was certainly a New Year's Eve that these officers won't forget anytime soon.
