"Wrong again. There were 2 raids in that week in Brisbane. The other happened a few days before Stanley."

How does that disprove what I wrote? Police are understaffed and underfunded. If you think they have the manpower to hit all shops in a week or two, you've been massaging yourself way too much. If you think they just "suddenly" became aware of it and immediately leap into the fray without building a case, you don't understand police work. Also, they usually can't (or won't) do anything without a complaint from a member of the public and depending on how much resources and time it would require to investigate, sometimes there has to be many complaints before they do anything. They're way too busy dealing with definite crimes, to check every "maybe" complaint sent in.
