Officers from the Police Transport Command.
A sniffer dog was brought aboard the XPT for drug detection purposes. The dog’s German Shepherd mate was waiting in the Police ute in case any trouble arose from the search.
NSW Police Officers of the Police Transport Command (PTC) based in Campbelltown, along with sniffer dogs, boarded the Melbourne-bound XPT train this afternoon as part of Operation Southern Aurora.
The operation is an attempt to reduce anti-social behaviour and detect illicit drugs on coaches and trains throughout our region.
The XPT remained at the station for almost ten minutes, as officers and a sniffer dog swept the five-car train.
Further actions by the PCT and sniffer dogs are also planned.
