Sydney brothel manager Peter Lazaris caught in possession of real police uniforms

·

The former boss of a Surry Hills brothel has been been busted for possession of legitimate NSW Police and Australian Federal Police (AFP) uniforms.

The Daily Telegraph shared that the Sydney brothel, A Touch of Class’ ex-manager Peter Lazaris, will now face the Downing Centre Local Court next month after authorities claimed the possession of police uniforms were found to have nothing to do with a dress up kink fantasy for his business.

He is also being charged for drug possession, after police found more than 45g of methylamphetamine in his Kingsgrove home in November 2022.

The 55-year-old was also discovered to be in possession of the official police uniforms during this time, which is illegal and can be punishable with a two-year jail sentence.

Court documents indicated that police alleged that Mr Lazaris was in possession of “genuine NSW Police and Australian Federal Police uniform without permit”.

He was also charged with two counts of supplying methylamphetamine, possessing 55g of the drug and possessing police uniforms without a permit. 

Mr Lazaris is expected to plead not guilty to the charges.

An additional 13 more charges against the ex-brothel-manager from police have also been withdrawn which include directing a criminal group, possession of illegal ammunition and driving a motor vehicle with unlawful police insignia.

Court records showed that Mr Lazaris was released after his arrest on strict bail conditions after a $1 million deposit of a Surry Hills property was used as security.

Mr Lazaris will now not be permitted to go within 7km of the GPO building in Martin Place, not enter the suburb of Campsie in Sydney and not consume alcohol.

He was also ordered to enter a rehabilitation facility. Peter Lazaris is expected for his his hearing on Feburary 12 at the Downing Centre Local Court.
