Lamar Aaron Ahchee named as Australian arrested in Bali over alleged attempt to import 1.7kg of cocaine
An Australian man, originally from Queensland, has been arrested in Bali after allegedly attempting to import 1.7kg of cocaine into Indonesia. Lamar Aaron Ahchee, 43, can now be revealed as the Australian man who has been arrested. At a police media conference on Monday, Bali Police Chief Inspector General Daniel Adityajaya Identified the Australian as LAA. Mr Ahchee, who is understood to have lived in Sydney from at least 2011 - 20017, has lived and worked in both Australia and Indonesia. On April 12, 2025, Indonesian National Police alleged that two packages were sent from England to Indonesia. The packages, police said, were addressed to two locations; one heading for Mengwi, Bali, the other North Kuta. Police say the two packages arrived in Denpasar on May 20. Customs officers carried out an X-ray of the two packages, forming suspicions that they contained narcotics concealed within other items. The customs officers then worked with the Bali Police Narcotics Director to organised what they called a controlled delivery of the packages. On May 22, police allege Mr Ahchee used a driver to collect the two packages from the two post offices, before the driver, referred to by police as 'witness YE', took the packages to Mr Ahchee. Police said the collection of the packages happened in two separate trips. Police swooped in after both packages were delivered, arresting Mr Ahchee at a property in North Kuta. Police alleged they obtained 1.8kg of cocaine from the property, which without the package weighed 1.7kg. Authorities claim to have found scaled and small plastic bags within the apartment where Mr Ahchee was arrested, using this as further evidence. Mr Ahchee allegedly told police he did not know the owner of the narcotics, instead claiming he had been ordered to collect the delivery from a person named 'boss' in exchange for Rp. 50 million ($4750). The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trading confirmed they were assisting an Australian in Bali. 'The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular assistance to an Australian detained in Bali,' a spokesperson said. 'Owing to our privacy obligations, we are unable to provide further comment.' Mr Ahchee's LinkedIn profile lists senior roles with high-profile companies including OMNIA Dayclub Bali (Hakkasan Group), Seadeck Australia and Marquee Nightclub Sydney, and includes a junior role as a public relations coordinator at Qantas. From information on social media profiles, Mr Ahchee had been living in Indonesia since 2017. His LinkedIn Profile lists his last role as general manager of Brick Lane Bali, a restaurant and bar in Canggu. In a recent Facebook post, Mr Ahchee announced he was leaving Brick Lane to 'embark on new adventures'. 'As I step away from general manager at Brick Lane to embark on new adventures, I want to take a moment to reflect on this incredible journey,' he wrote. 'From a slab of concrete to conceptualising a new vision, redesigning, and eventually transforming this space into a true spaceship, it's been a ride that I will always be proud of.' In another post in March 2024, Mr Ahchee announced his partner was moving to Bali to live with him after a chance encounter. 'Ohhh how pretty she is without makeup,' he said alongside a series of images and videos of a woman. 'My peace: her eyes, My happiness: her smile. My comfort: her lap. My home: her arms. My world: her. 'She is a deadly combination. A great sense of humour, dirty mind (she is German after all/ her Polish balances her out), and a beautiful heart. 'Today, she is moving to Bali. 'People never forget how you make them feel. 27 April 2023, it was pure magic how someone's sight can make you smile. 'I was actually intimidated for the first time by (a) girl of her wittiness, beauty and charm. 'No person is sent to you by accident, the universe fights for certain souls to find one another, trust me, I'm 42. 'I believe when it's finally right, everything that you love ruthlessly, will love you back with the same conviction. 'They led you to the person you were meant to be. 'No one can tell you or show you, it's a feeling like no other. When you know, you know. 'I love you and I can't wait for your life with me in Bali,' he wrote. Indonesia has a zero-tolerance approach to drug-related offences, and has enforced its strict policy in the past with harsh penalties, including for Australian Schapelle Corby and the infamous Bali Nine.
