[Music] tonight on border security it wouldn't be surprising if something that I have tests for something this young Aussie acts like a high flyer there are photos of the passenger holding large amounts of American currency border Force fears he's up to something illegal you understand why we're doing it CU you believe I'm carrying drugs possibly it's in the bag with the clothes see that image a Chinese couple are hiding something with devastating potential so you could be bringing in diseases that we really can't afford to get into the country and this woman says she's a bank manager what bank do you work for but officers discover things just don't add up so now just tell me honestly the truth there's no point lying [Music] [Music] in Melbourne Australian Border Force officers have taken aside this Australian man after his travel documents caught their attention gentleman is a French passport holder but is duel citizen also Australian however he's arrived on his French passport today the whereabouts of his Australian passport is not the only concern as the passenger tells officers he has been working at a music festival in Mexico for the past 5 weeks how long was the flight from Mexico to La 5 hours can this gentleman's traveling from a high-risk Port which is a source country for cocaine and other listed substances as a precaution a swab is taken from the inside of his backpack to check for traces of Narcotics and the man appears a little worried I was at a music festival so it wouldn't be surprising if something that I have tests for something I mean but officers are surprised to get a very strong positive result for cocaine illicit drug use at music festivals is not uncommon and officers know it's possible his backpack has come into contact with cocaine during his trip so they decide to test another personal item it's your wallet your wallet that's my wallet yeah cool no problem just taking a swap okay you haven't come in contact with any drugs at all no recently no he denies having any contact with narcotics while he was in Mexico but it's another positive result and officers suspect this man may not be telling the [Music] truth biocurity officers in Sydney suspect this couple who are visiting from China may have a large amount of Undeclared food in their luggage but there is one item in particular that is causing alarm their um incoming passenger cards been filled out in Chinese and they haven't declared anything and clearly in this bag what looks like sausages so we're definitely going to have a look at that I know you know no English Chinese Chinese officer Andrea asks the couple if their declaration is true and correct but even with a translation book it's proving to be difficult you you have a boy just wait a minute we're going to get someone to talk to you I'm getting that the've other got a son or a daughter here but as far as food she's saying no but she's acknowledging that they are her bags but we're just going to be clearer on that by getting our Chinese speaking officer to give me a hand with his inspection today and bioc security officer Reena now asks the couple in Mandarin if they have anything to declare mushroom and black fungus that's him okay all right thank you there is no mention of any sausages as the bag search begins there the mushrooms just wa let me do it the seemingly helpful couple have an entire bag of dried food that should have been declared but officer Andrea still hasn't located the high-risk item she is looking for find the sausages I'm definitely looking for that image that looks like it's sausages I'm not convinced that it's just dried food at this stage if they are concealing sausages these passengers are giving nothing away this passenger has arrived from Malaysia on a tourist visa however a routine search has revealed that she has very little money to fund her stay okay you can put your money back that's $440 officers now want to know more about her holiday plans what's the reason you came to Australia Holiday how many days 4 days 4 days do you have a retain ticket yes I do and what will you do during the 4 days in Australia school walk uh the city do you have any tourism activities or plan maybe to Opera and you have $440 today with you is it enough money to support you in Australia I think I not buy anything they just buy food some food and that's all with concerns about her lack of funds officers now question the woman's declared occupation of bank manager what bank do you work for uh actually I'm not uh working as a bank manager so why did you write you a bank manager here providing misleading information is a serious offense officers must now work out why this passenger is [Music] lying this Malaysian woman has been caught out having lied about her profession on her incoming passenger card so why did you write your the bank manager here because I want to just uh pass the someone told you easy easy easy to to pass the immigration yes someone told you this officer Rakesh now reminds the passenger on the importance of a truthful declaration Please be aware that if you make false or misleading information you can be prosecuted under astralian laws officers now want to know what she's hiding so what do you do for work I'm business what do you mean by business I'm doing uh clothing business and accessories so what do you mean you have a shop or you work in a shop I have a shop you have your own shop yes so who's working there today my sisters the woman is traveling with a companion who is also being questioned about her intentions while in Australia and you traveling with another friend of yours today and how long you know your friend for a few months and who made the plans to come to [Music] Australia has she come to Australia before no officers have information detailing all prior travel movements and are aware that her travel partner has in fact been to Australia previously so it's our first trip yes officer Rakesh now confronts The Woman by revealing he has caught her out in a second lie your friend in the other room it's not her first trip to Australia she has been here before [Music] biocurity officers have discovered an entire bag full of Undeclared dried food in this Chinese couple's luggage but they are still searching for items which they believe to be high-risk sausages let's go back on the image hang on hang on a second look at the X-ray reveals what the problem is it's in the bag with the clothes see that image it's in one of the bags with the clothes the search of the passengers clothing doesn't take long as officers Now find what they're looking for and there's some shoes here they are hidden in the clothes I need those sausages finally the Elusive and highly restricted food item is located a true homemade pork yes I can tell meat has strict import conditions due to the serious biocurity risk it poses meat products can carry all sorts of diseases depending on the type of meat that's coming in with this product today the gentleman's told us it's pork so you could be bringing in render press swine flu foot and mouth disease and they're diseases that we really can't afford to get into the country question number six says do you have any and you said no they said they forgot they have this in a bag they may have forgotten but that doesn't explain why the sausages were so well hidden it's in the language they understood the question they're going to be issued an infringement today the couple are speechless as they are informed that they may receive the maximum $360 fine a sh [Music] in Melbourne border Force officers are questioning this young Australian man who has arrived from Mexico on his French passport gentleman's been working for 5 weeks at a music festival in Mexico uh prior to this he spent some time in America and he actually lives in Holland he claims he's here to visit family but after swab tests from his belongings returned strong positive readings for cocaine officers are now concerned he may be concealing narcotics considering he's denying any usage or any contact with cocaine for that to get on a wallet that's in his possession gives us great concern so generally with a reading that high means you've been in contact recently quite recently within the last couple of days so never used it never touched it in the last couple of days Festival ended two weeks ago did you use that at the festival uh I'm not sure if I use my wallet for it but I've tried it before in my life yeah recently or a long time ago no a while ago a while ago a while ago I mean it's possible that someone's used my card or something for it but I don't I mean I'm not attempting to traffic anything with this comment supervising officer Mark steps in to question the passenger further so do you have full-time employment uh presently no I don't but I'm going back to Amsterdam uh in a little while to so when was the last time you had full-time employment in Amsterdam so how did you fund this trip how did you fund this holiday through savings also my grandfather recently passed away so I got some what job did you have an an that working in a hostel in a campsite but a photo located on his mobile phone does little to allay officers suspicions a photo of you with cash your hand oh yeah that was my friends it wasn't actually mine there are photos of the passenger holding large amounts of American currency passenger has no employment has been traveling for the last four months it's concerning as to how he can come into so much money with lingering doubts about this passenger officers decide to step up the investigation and carry out a Frisk search you understand why we're doing it why you frisking me cuz you believe that I'm carrying drugs possibly yes the passenger consents to the Frisk as his bags are x-rayed he won't be free to cross the border until offic is are certain he is not concealing any narcotics it's in the language I understood the question they're going to be issued an infringement today this elderly couple have come to Sydney to visit their newborn grandson and say they forgot that they have homemade sausages in their luggage but bio security officer Andrea suspects it was a deliberate concealment it was wrapped in the duffel coat which was very large thick item of clothing right down the bottom of the bag with other items on top that's a really good find for us [Music] today the passenger explains how the sausage is homemade he said he makes the best sausage he just buy the meat and fat from the market and make them cut them into MX and make them a spices herbs and spices unfortunately high risk big risk a couple have visited Australia many times so there's no doubt they know the rules and are now issued with the max $360 [Music] fine they said they want to give the money to the newborn baby but I said if you de you could have saved the money for the baby unfortunately that money won't be going to that grandchild neither with the sausages hopefully they can buy other gifts for mother here the couple pay their fine and acknowledge they've learned a valuable lesson byebye at the international mail center border Force officers Shane and Victor are screening incoming packages for suspicious items or concealments and it's not long before one draws their attention hey Vic let's have a look at this look interesting it's declared as biscuits it's there may be biscuits in there but there's more than that in there yeah I mean you can see different yeah these are biscuits but this doesn't look like biscuits yeah definitely something we should have a look at mhm yeah the package is pulled aside to be opened by Australia Post and then taken to a deconstruction room for further examination definitely looks like biscuits from the outside it's what it was declared as we'll open a couple of these up and have a look there are no obvious signs of tampering so officers take a closer look at the contact well there you go definitely not a biscuit so we'll open up and another a proper look inside eh y oh yeah there you go definitely something in [Music] there this woman has arrived in Australia for what she says is a holiday but Australian Border Force officers have established she's not telling them the truth so he lied on the incoming passenger card that your bank manager now your friend here has been to Australia before so you said that it's our first trip we already know that she has been here before it is now suspected that the woman is planning to break the strict no work condition on her tourist visa so now I want you to just tell me on honestly the truth we give you the opportunity now there's no point lying so you here to work on a farm how much they going to pay you I'm not sure you're not sure she didn't tell you how much no so how long she said you're going to work here 1 year no then well 3 months 3 months work what kind of work she told you I'm not sure yet so you came here without knowing what you're going to do for work yeah I know about the farm but I I don't really know what supposed I to do there and uh she didn't tell you anything about money I heard that if we working here we can get paid for $13 $13 hourly Australian $13 her clear intention to breach the conditions of her visa and work in Australia could would see her sent home on the next available flight so I give you 10 minutes then I come back she is first given a final opportunity to plead her case to avoid being removed from the country this young traveler has denied using drugs while on a trip to Mexico despite strong readings for cocaine from his belonging to be sure he is not attempting to carry any illicit substances across the border officers are conducting a Frisk search and x-raying his luggage one foot up the T after a thorough inspection his bags get the all clear and the Frisk search is complete so I've done fris search on the Gan come back with a negative result and I'm confident the passenger is not carrying any narcotics on it as he repacks his luggage supervising officer Mark has one last try to find out what could have caused such high cocaine readings can you explain why that would be cuz I was at a music festival and that people around me were using cocaine well it was items that are personal to you that we tested uh yeah like my wallet and and the inside of your baggage and inside of my bag I honestly have no idea how that would have considerably happened to be honest the wallet I Caine while you were away at all didn't use any drugs no I didn't well other people were that's why it would happen on my card and in my wallet and what have you inside my bag no clue um so when you say other people using why would it be in your wallet why would it be in your wallet on your card because someone would have probably asked for me a card to to borrow a card from yeah exactly the man is now free to visit his family in melin de's just doing their job and you know everything went the way it should have happened I didn't have any drugs I knew that they found out what I had known already and now they're off looking at other [Music] people definitely not another biscuit border Force officers have just discovered a package of suspected narcotics concealed inside these boxes of biscuits sent from China [Music] oh yeah oh yeah there you go definitely something in there definitely have to test that that see what we've got an illicit drug test kit is used to identify the substance which officers suspect is ice if the test turns blue it's a positive result positive definitely methamphetamine it's a good result the package is is Wade before being handed over to the Australian federal police to complete the investigation after being caught out lying to the Australian Border Force this woman has confessed her plan to work illegally she now has a final chance to plead her case and avoid Visa cancellation I wish I my Visa is not cancelled because I love I mean I want to try this uh to live at this country big opportunity here I mean work big opportunity in Australia for work and to leave here to migrate in Australia live here I hope one day unfortunately for her officer Rakesh is now satisfied that she is not a genuine tourist and he takes the final step after weighing up all the information available to me I'm satisfied that the grounds for canceling the Visa are to way the reasons for not canceling therefore I've decided to cancel your Visa today you are now detained and will be removed from Australia as an unlawful non-citizen we deal with a lot of cases like this who try to breach the Visa conditions so people should be aware of the consequences if they take a risk but I will not be successful anyway [Music] he [Music] [Applause] [Music]
