'Australia's dumbest crook' who crashed into parked police cars while smuggling $200MILLION in meth is described as 'hopeless and negligent' by his OWN lawyer for turning a simple courier job into a complete shambles

'Hopeless, negligent and shambolic' - that's how a lawyer has described the crimes of a hapless drug courier sprung trafficking $200million in meth because he crashed into parked police cars. Simon Tu, 28, was branded 'Australia's dumbest criminal' when he accidentally ploughed his white Toyota HiAce into stationary cop cars in Sydney's Eastwood one Monday morning last July.   Tu was ambling down the road, past the police station on Ethel Street, when he accidentally slammed into two parked NSW Police cars. But he kept driving until officers spotted his van an hour later. Tu later said he had suffered a 'microsleep' and made the farcical claim he was delivering 'food around Sydney' - rather than 260kg of crystal methamphetamine.  That humiliating moment brought him in front of a NSW District Court Judge Penelope Hock on Thursday for a sentencing hearing.
