A 91-year-old Sydney man has been charged with importing cocaine after he apparently fell victim to a scam.
The Australian Federal Police said the Epping man carried 27 bars of soap, filled with about 4.5kg of cocaine, on a flight from New Delhi to Sydney on July 8.
The case has prompted warnings to travellers to pack their luggage carefully and be wary of inadvertently becoming drug couriers for overseas criminal syndicates.
