If they ever had training from some of Australia's state police forces /drug squads of not too long ago,
they are probably adhering to strict protocols for divvying up the loot.

The iron rule of law in New South Wales used to be
- If you ain't at the divvie, Tough.
except the head of the squad who picked up the set % for the higher ups.

The divvie-up was very soon after the bust.
That had the side benefit of making sure all the squad members were on deck for the raiding party - with their balls on.
LOL
but of course that is all in past nowadays

I suppose it's very tempting to take a little of the merchandise, knowing of its street value. But doubly wrong for someone in his position.
