An Irish national is facing drug charges in Australia after allegedly importing cocaine inside chocolate toy capsules, authorities say
Inside milk chocolate Kinder Surprise eggs are non-edible, yellow capsules which each contain a small plastic toy. The man was taken to a hospital for a CT scan after he was stopped by the Australian Border Force at Melbourne International Airport on December 28 when his baggage allegedly returned a positive result for the presence of cocaine, according to a joint press release issued Wednesday by the ABF and Australian Federal Police .
He appeared at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on December 30 and was remanded in custody to appear for a committal mention – a preliminary hearing before the committal hearing where a magistrate will decide if there is enough evidence to support a conviction for the offense charged – on March 27.
