A Sydney man has been charged with importing half a kilogram of cocaine hidden in woven dresses from Thailand, according to the Australian Federal Police. Customs officers in Sydney seized a consignment of 11 African woven dresses, allegedly imported from Bangkok, with embroidered patches containing white powder wrapped in brown tape. They referred the consignment to the AFP, who tested the white powder, which proved to be cocaine. A little more than 500 grams of cocaine were removed from the consignment, with an estimated street value of A$200,000.
