Drug courier suspect arrives to Oz summer in ski clothes

Australian authorities say a suspected drug courier gave himself away by wearing ski clothes in baking temperatures.

The Canadian arrived at Brisbane airport from Hong Kong allegedly with over 2kg of heroin stitched into his winter clothing.

Daytime temperatures in Queensland are currently around 28 degrees Celsius.

Australian Customs Service spokesperson Jenny Eutick says: "It's been very hot in Brisbane lately and he was wearing a polar fleece jacket so that was one of the factors which drew attention to him."

According to the AAP news agency, Ms Eutick says the six blocks of heroin had a pepper coating - an attempt to confuse the airport's sniffer dogs.


The 34-year-old has been charged and will appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court.

The Australian Federal Police have arrested two men in Sydney in connection with the case.
