Police seized .. garden tools ..

Are garden tools subject to licensing in Australia/UK ? Wouldn't be surprised

… lizards.

If I wanted use a reptile as a weapon, I’d choose a snake with neurotoxic venom. Australia does have some big lizards though. Goannas can bite reasonably hard, but I wouldn’t call them assault lizards.

Given the list of "contraband" - I'm guessing the lizards were also stolen? Also, I think Oz has some pretty tough rules on the acquisition/keeping of indigenous fauna. I know when colleagues have worked in WA the permitting process was...onerous.

From the story:

Drugs including cannabis and methamphetamine were also seized

I am shocked...shocked to learn that methamphetamine was found. I mean truly amaze...okay maybe not really amazed.
Or shocked. Or even a little surprised...
