Police dug up a black bag containing 5kg of meth that had been buried by Tachev (Australian Federal Police)[/caption]
After obtaining a surveillance warrant, they set up a camera to catch the 25-year-old when he returned for his stash.
Of course, Tachev returned and began digging in search of the drugs, which had already been seized by police.
Pictures show the drug trafficker with his hands on his hips as he starts to wonder where the drugs have gone.

On April 6 2021, he was arrested at his vape shop, with officers finding "$17,355 cash, a hand shovel and dirty gardening gloves in a bag in his car."
He was charged with one count of commercial drug trafficking and one count of dealing with the proceeds of crime.
Earlier this week (April 5), he was sentenced to 11 years in prison after he pled guilty to drug trafficking and money laundering.
The court was told that Tachev was sent GPS coordinates by his boss that told him where to pick up and drop off drugs.
AFP Senior Constable Josh Gilmour said the 15kg of meth seized by police could have been sold to 150,000 people in street deals.
He added: “People who move cash and drugs for criminal syndicates play a vital role in helping other members to profit from this damaging trade. The AFP and our partners are working tirelessly to stop drugs from reaching our community and arresting those involved in the distribution.”
