Edinburgh woman and partner appear in court after '107kg of ketamine' seized by Australian police
The pair are expected to appear in court again in the coming months
A 23-year-old woman from Edinburgh and her partner have appeared in court in Sydney after local police allegedly seized over 100kg of ketamine in a raid.
Demi McDaid and Jack Farrelly, 30, were arrested after being located by police in a hotel room in the north of the city on June 29.
During a search of a rental car in the hotel car park, officers allegedly found 105kg of ketamine in the boot. A number of mobile phones, over $2000 in cash and documents police believe were drug ledgers were allegedly seize from the room.
It came three days after officers searched a rented property in the northern suburb of Artarmon, allegedly seizing two kilograms of ketamine, alongside scales, disposable gloves and clear resealable bags with white crystallised residue.
The pair were charged with supplying prohibited drug larger than indictable and less than commercial quantity, and supply prohibited drug larger than or equal to large commercial quantity.
The police allege they travelled to Australia for the sole purpose of taking part in the distribution and supply of large commercial quantities of prohibited drugs.
On June 30 the Scots appeared at Manly Local Court and were refused bail. On Tuesday, they appeared at Downing Centre and District Court and were again refused bail.
They are expected to appear in court again within the next two months.
