A 19-year-old Australian denied smuggling 500 kg of cocaine from a Brazilian ship, claiming he was helping a friend, but police found him with GPS-tracked drug barrels and CCTV evidence.
A 19-year-old Sydney man accused of helping smuggle half a tonne of cocaine off Western Australia’s coast says he was in Perth to assist a stranded friend.
Police allege he and a co-accused used a rented boat and car to retrieve GPS-tracked cocaine barrels dumped by a Brazilian ship, with CCTV showing them loading drug bags.
They were rescued at sea, claiming to be helping a friend, but were later linked to the drugs after fishermen found them.
The man, with no serious prior record, denies knowledge of the smuggling and was granted bail under strict conditions, including a $400,000 surety and living with his mother in New South Wales.
A judge noted strong circumstantial evidence of his involvement despite the defense.
