Aussie arrested in Bali in fresh drug shock
Another Australian man has been arrested in Bali for alleged cocaine possession, Indonesian media has reported. A video from the Radar Bali news service appears to show the arrest taking place in the tourist hotspot of Bandung on Thursday. The man and a female passenger were reportedly stopped by police for not wearing helmets while riding a motorcycle. The video shows police officers inspecting a small bag, which appears to contain a white powder substance. 'Ah, no, no, no, no,' the man says when police discover the bag. 'Try it, it's panadol. Panadol brother,' the man shouts in the video. 'Test it, it's panadol!' The police claim the man later confessed the powder was cocaine. Local media reports the police said the bag had been sent for testing and the test showed the powder to be cocaine. A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesman confirmed an Australian had been detained in Bali. 'We are in contact with local authorities and stand ready to provide consular assistance, to any Australian citizen, should they request it,' the spokesman said. More to come.
