The drawn-out battle for a star Cavoodle took a fresh turn when one of the former friends involved applied for an AVO against the other. The feuding pair were seen tussling over the dog on TV last week.

Police charge four after 1kg of cocaine and $330,000 cash seized – Organised Crime Squad
Organised Crime Squad detectives have charged four men after seizing nearly 1.1kg of cocaine and $330,000 cash during a police operation in Sydney yesterday.
Last month, detectives from the State Crime Command’s Organised Crime Squad commenced an investigation into the activities of an alleged criminal syndicate involved in the supply of prohibited drugs – mainly cocaine – across Sydney.
Following extensive investigations, officers arrested a 59-year-old man during a vehicle stop at Austral just after 12pm yesterday (Monday 31 May 2021).
In a subsequent search of the vehicle, detectives seized $10,000 cash and nearly 1.1kg of cocaine, with an estimated potential street value of $330,000.
The 50-year-old has been unable to lead police to the man they believe executed a $660,000 cocaine rip-off which allegedly led to the retired leg spin bowler s kidnapping despite him being a friend.

New details have emerged of how an undercover police operation investigating the alleged abduction of former cricketer Stuart MacGill helped gather the damning evidence needed to make four arrests.
The retired spin bowler was allegedly confronted outside his unit on Sydney s lower north shore on April 14, forced into a vehicle and taken 60 kilometres to Bringelly in western Sydney.
MacGill was allegedly held against his will after becoming embroiled in an alleged $660,000 cocaine rip-off before he was driven to Belmore and released.
Marino Sotiropoulos, the brother of MacGill s girlfriend Maria O Meagher was one of four men arrested last week, along with Son Minh Nguyen Nguyen, 42, Richard Schaaf, 29, and his brother Frederick, 27.
