Drug bust? Prostitution bust?
It didn't really fit either. Four police cars and a gaggle of officers would be overkill for a prostitution bust, besides prostitution is more or less decriminalised in Australia. As for a drug bust, the whole thing was sorted in 15 minutes. No police officers seemed to enter any of the neighbour's houses (although I didn't investigate too carefully) and there have been no police investigators milling around this morning. Possible a drug mule carrying around something at night. Or possibly a domestic dispute elsewhere where the man escaped the scene. It was a mysterious wake up I'll tell you that! Especially since the whole incident would have occurred just a few metres from where we were sleeping.
