Furniture flung from balcony leads police to alleged drug lab September 9, 2013 - 7:42AM 17 reading now A Surfers Paradise man inadvertently led police to a makeshift drug lab by allegedly throwing furniture from the balcony of a Gold Coast hotel on Sunday night. Police were called to the International Beach Resort on The Esplanade at Surfers Paradise about 8pm after patio furniture was flung from a balcony. No one was injured, but a car roof was damaged. When police went to speak to the unit occupants, they were confronted by a strong odour. Inside officers allegedly found a makeshift drug lab, including glassware and chemicals. Paramedics assessed a 25-year-old Surfers Paradise man and a 27-year-old Main Beach man at the scene for chemical inhalation after they complained of headaches and numb lips. The men were charged with possessing a dangerous drug and drug utensils. The 25-year-old was also charged with public nuisance offences. Both are due to face Southport Magistrates Court on September 24.
