As part of the ongoing investigation into the tragic death of a Brazilian diver and a linked cocaine bust in Newcastle, a buried truck has recently been discovered and excavated. The incident, which occurred on May 9, 2022, involved the unfortunate passing of 31-year-old Bruno Borges Martins, who was found unconscious in the Hunter River. Along with his body, authorities also uncovered 54 kilograms of cocaine in close proximity.
According to reports, Borges had come to Australia after being hired by drug smugglers to retrieve the cocaine bricks from a ship. It is believed that this task was a contributing factor in his death. As the investigation unfolds, two men have already been charged and are currently facing court proceedings. However, the search for a second diver, 32-year-old Jhoni Fernandes Da Silva, is still ongoing.
In an effort to gather more information on the two-year anniversary of Borges' passing, on May 28, the police conducted a search warrant at Menangle in Sydney's south-west. During the search, they stumbled upon a white Mitsubishi Fuso truck, which they suspect was used by those involved in the botched drug retrieval. Interestingly, the buried truck was last seen driving southbound on the M4 Motorway at Pennant Hills at around 6:30 pm on May 8, 2022.
As the investigation progresses under Strike Force Groove, detectives are reaching out to the public for any information on a Toyota Townace Van with the NSW registration WNY439. This vehicle was reportedly seen travelling with the truck in question. Any leads or tips could prove to be crucial in solving this case.
