"He's suspected of being part of an Australian drug ring."
Police found an Australian passport and three British passports in Lee's possession.
"We plan to coordinate with Interpol and Australian police to take him to Australia tomorrow," Indarto added.
Provincial police spokesman Gde Sugianyar said Australian police wanted Lee over the possession of 45 litres of materials used to make methamphetamines.
Lee reportedly had been wanted by Australian police since 2008.
