'Breast implant' was a jellyfish, police say

Man thought someone was murdered

QUEENSLAND, Australia – A man with a jellyfish walked into a police station.

It might sound like the start of a joke, but it's actually the beginning of an unlikely story that recently played out in Queensland, Australia.

According to a statement from local police, officers were "all hands on deck" when an unidentified man walked into Maroochydore police station on Queensland's Sunshine Coast last week.

He was carrying a "bagged and tagged item" that he told police could be a breast implant, which he assumed may have been evidence of a homicide or drowning.

As it turned out, police confirmed that the mystery item was nothing more than a dead jellyfish.

"Investigations revealed what police suspected!" the statement said.

This may be one crime drama that was over before it ever really began.

Make no bones about it. Evidence presented at Maroochydore Station smelt fishy from the start, resulting in a unique bust #CSImarine
