A clumsy driver led police to a A$200 million ($140 million) drug bust in Australia after he crashed a van laden with 270 kg of methamphetamines into a patrol car parked outside a police station in suburban Sydney.

一名笨手笨腳的司機引領澳洲警方破獲2億澳幣（1.4億美元）的毒品，在他把滿載270公斤甲基安非他命的一輛廂型貨車開去撞向一輛停在雪梨郊區警察局外的巡邏車以後。

The man, 28, slammed the drug-filled van into the empty police patrol car at Eastwood in the city’s north on Monday morning, crushing its bonnet, before speeding off, CCTV footage shows. He was caught by police an hour later.

閉路電視影像顯示，這名28歲男子週一早上在該市北方伊士活區加速逃逸前，讓裝滿毒品的廂型貨車用力撞上沒坐人的巡邏警車，還壓爛了它的引擎蓋。他在1個小時以後被警方抓到。

A search of the vehicle turned up 273kg of ice, said police, who released footage of the drugs neatly packed in cardboard boxes, taped up and loaded into the back of the van. Police said in a statement the drugs had a street value of A$200 million.

警方說，搜查車輛後查出273公斤冰毒，他們發布了毒品整齊裝在紙箱內、包好放進貨車後頭的影像。警方聲明說，這些毒品的街頭黑市價格為2億澳幣。

The driver was arrested and charged with drug supply and negligent driving and is due in court on Tuesday. （Reuters）
