Authorities in Indonesia have arrested an Australian man for allegedly smuggling cocaine on the tourist island of Bali, a charge that could carry the death penalty, officials have said.
Lamar Aaron Ahchee, 43, from Cairns in north Queensland, was arrested last Thursday after police raided his rented house near Kuta beach, a popular tourist spot, and seized 1.7 kilograms of cocaine in 206 plastic bags, along with a digital scale and a mobile phone, Bali Police Chief Daniel Adityajaya said.
