Aussie travels to Hefei to expose his dead son's drug suppliers: reports

AN Australian man whose son died after taking a synthetic drug has gone undercover and travelled to China to infiltrate the crime gangs which have been exporting the narcotics, The Telegraph reported on Monday.

Rod Bridge lost his son Preston in 2013 after the teenager consumed 25i-NBOMe, a synthetic LSD-style drug, and in an hallucinatory state, jumped off a balcony to his death, believing he could fly, UK-based International Business Times reported.

After his son's tragic death, Bridge travelled to Hefei in Eastern China accompanied by a local television crew and managed to capture vital conversations with drug bosses using hidden cameras, according to the reports.

Bridge talked with the drug bosses disguised as a potential buyer and it turned out that synthetic drugs are often channelled into Australia using sealed bags and fish tank filters, the reports said.

He was told that a delivery could be guaranteed in seven days since "Australia is safe". "I hope it [the undercover recording] will save other lives," said Bridge, reportedly told The Telegraph.

"We're on the verge of some sort of tsunami about to happen and these synthetic drugs that are coming in are just going to get bigger and bigger and this has got to stop. Somebody's got to stop it."
