An active police operation is underway at Sydney’s Central station for the peak hour rush – with commuters subjected to strip searches on the platform as they search for illegal drugs.
Multiple drug sniffer dog teams were seen roaming the platforms at the busy station on Wednesday pulling up terrified commuters.
Police were also seen performing strip searches in temporary tents that have been set up in public in the station.

The moderator of social media page Sniff Off – which informs the public of police drug dog operations – told Daily Mail Australia there were at least 15 officers and their dogs roaming a busy train station during rush hour.
There were also two strip search cubicles in operation on the platform.
Social response toward the investigation has so far been negative, with people questioning why police are conducting the search on a Wednesday afternoon and in such a location.
‘Strip search tents’ at the railway station. Where am I living?,’ one person wrote.
‘Strip search tents, is this actually for real? People can’t even go to work without the possibility that they may have to strip naked, squat and cough.’
‘And at least 2/3’s of those people will be innocent,’ another said.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted NSW Police for comment.
