WESTERN Australian police have released details on an operation conducted in March 2009.
The Kalgoorlie-based Gold Stealing Detection Unit and the Australian Federal Police say it suspects miners are trafficking drugs and explosives across Australia.
The authorities targeted passengers baggage on flights to and from mine sites. They say although no miners were caught in possession, the sniffer dogs detected the scent of illegal substances on many incidences.
Detective Senior Sergeant Dom Blackshaw says for a dog to give an indication it's a fairly good indication for us that the bag has come into contact with either drugs or explosives.
