    Brit facing decades in an Indonesian prison

    A British man accused of smuggling cocaine into Indonesia has been pictured grinning as he and two fellow UK suspects were paraded in front of local media.
    Two of the suspects, a man, 32, and his girlfriend, 35, were reportedly caught carrying packs of the hard drug through the I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali, on February 1.


    Officers halted them at the X-ray machine after finding 'suspicious' items in their suitcases.




















    They were pulled to a separate area, where staff found the narcotics sealed in blue plastic packages labelled 'Angel Delight' in the man's luggage. More cocaine was found in seven plastic bags in his partner's suitcase.
    Police said they seized 994.56 grammes of cocaine worth an estimated six billion IDR (around £296,000).
    A third British suspect, 35, was later detained as part of the investigation. He had reportedly been due to meet the couple to collect the drugs.


    The trio, along with other arrested drug suspects, were paraded in front of local media today.
    The blonde-haired Briton was seen chuckling and smiling despite facing decades in prison while he was paraded alongside the other detainees during the press conference.

    Whatever their sentence ends up being, they should tack on an extra five, just for utter stupidity.

    And another 5 years for bringing the good name of Angel Delight into disrepute!

    Three Britons detained ‘for smuggling kilo of cocaine into Bali’

    Two members of the trio allegedly flew from England to the holiday island with the cocaine disguised as packets of Angel Delight




    A pair, reported to be a couple, have been named by local media as Lisa Stocker, 39, and Jon Collyer, 37. They were reportedly caught by Indonesian authorities at the I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport on Feb 1, after security at the X-ray machine noticed “suspicious” items in their suitcases.

    Police later said they seized 994.56 grams of cocaine from their luggage, estimated to be worth around £296,000.

    AKBP Ponco Indriyo, the deputy director of Bali police force’s drug investigation unit, said they had flown from England to the tourist hotspot, with a layover in Doha.

    He said: “The method of concealment is to put the drugs, packed in food packaging, in a suitcase.

    Two days after the couple were detained, police arrested another British national – said to be 31-year-old Phineas Ambrose Float – who had reportedly been due to meet them to collect and sell the drugs.

    On Friday, the trio were seen wearing orange prison shirts as they were paraded in front of local media alongside other detainees. In the last 16 days, Bali police have apprehended more than 149 alleged drug suspects.

    Mr Float appeared in good spirits, and was photographed laughing alongside other detainees during the press conference. Mr Collyer also appeared to grin at the camera.

    A photo reported to be of Ms Stocker showed her looking sombre, with her head bowed towards the ground.

    "Police believe this was not an isolated incident, alleging that the suspects had successfully smuggled cocaine into Bali at least twice before their arrest."
