A Kiwi pensioner is in a maximum security prison in Western Australia charged with importing cocaine.
The Australian Federal Police confirmed late yesterday the man had been charged with importing a marketable quantity of cocaine.
He will next appear in the Perth Magistrates court on April 1.
The Greymouth Star
has chosen not to name the man until his court appearance. He is in his late 60s.
"As the matter is before the court we are not able to provide further information," Western Australian police said.
