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.”

Marijuana is legal for medicinal use in Australia, but both the substance and paraphernalia remain illegal for recreational purposes.
