Australia arrests 91 year-old man for smuggling cocaine
A 91-year-old Sydney man was used by drug
smugglers to fly 4.5 kilograms of cocaine disguised
as soap from India to Australia, police said
Tuesday.
The man was stopped at Sydney airport on his
arrival from New Delhi on July 8th when customs
officers became suspicious of the contents of his
luggage, officials said.
They found 27 packages of soap which tested
positive for cocaine. The man was charged with
importing illegal drugs.
“Claiming ignorance of drugs hidden inside your
luggage does not automatically mean you will not
face criminal charges,” acting Assistant Police
Commissioner, Wayne Buchhorn, said.
