29-year-old German man caught allegedly trying to smuggle cocaine from New Zealand to Brisbane was arrested after customs officers found his clothing was stiff to the touch.Customs officers stopped the man when he arrived at Brisbane International Airport on a flight from New Zealand yesterday, The Age newspaper reported.
During a search of his bags, officers became suspicious that drugs may have been impregnated in the fabric of several items of clothing, including numerous pairs of jeans and t-shirts.Preliminary testing of fabric of several items of clothing, which were stiff to the touch, indicated the presence of cocaine.
The man was subsequently arrested by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and charged with attempting to import clothing impregnated in cocaine, defined as a " marketable quantity of a border controlled drug".
