So the army observe them loading half a ton of meth, they 'intervene' and the three lads just disappear into the trees with the soldiers unable to catch them... yeah....


I'd be more inclined to go along with the boys were previously caught, or were known to be drug handlers, and were given the choice of being legally done, and facing life or 50 years in the clink-o, or give info on the next shipment where they can flee, and the coppers can keep the half ton of meth. Hope they've got good running legs as the the boys higher up mightn't be too pleased.

Yes, the coppers' story is as credible as chit chat from King Trump.
