Australian Cops Recover Baby Bottle Bong Decorated With Swastika

The police report sounds like a Madlibs collection: a baby bottle, a bong, and a swastika. And yet, according to the Wanneroo Police Department in Australia, it’s nothing new for them.
Wanneroo police were conducting a search of a suspect’s home when one officer stumbled upon a baby bottle that had been fashioned into a bong and emblazoned with a swastika. The owner of the smoking device was arrested.
“They turn everything into a smoking implement,” one officer said of drug addicts. “It doesn’t surprise us.”

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
