The fast food lover allegedly worked with his two brothers and organised meet-ups with Mr Su’a at McDonald’s, Brodies, KFC, Nandos and Guzman and Gomez.
Mr Su’a had slowly been gaining the confidences of Ah-San and his younger brother through a series of texts sent over Wickr, Courier Mail reported.
He pretended to be working in Townsville and claimed he wanted to buy the ice and guns so he could sell the products up north.
Mr Su’a used the nickname ‘Coconut Cowboy’ on the messaging app and bonded with the brothers over their love of fast food.
In one conversation, Mr Su’a messaged Ah-San’s brother who went by the name of ‘A**face’.
He invited the younger brother to an ‘actual feed’ at ‘KFC or maccas’.
‘I owe you a feed bro for saying that sugar s*** so come hungry uce,’ Cowboy Coconut wrote.
‘For sure would love to catch up properly and have a yarn uce no worries,’ A**face responds.
Mr Ah-San’s brothers allegedly grew closer to the undercover police officer and sent him ‘love heart emogis’ as he wished him a ‘safe trip back home’.
‘Safe trip ma uso give us a text when u get home so we knw you arrived safely (100 emoji)’, the message read.
In another message the brother allegedly texted well-wishes to Mr Su’a on Christmas in 2018.
