Cocaine Disguised as Dessert: Brits Caught in Bali Face Decades Behind Bars!

[CharlieH]

 

A British duo is potentially facing decades of imprisonment in Bali after being accused of smuggling cocaine disguised as the dessert mix Angel Delight. Lisa Stocker, aged 39 from Gillingham, Kent, and Jon Collyer, 37, were apprehended on February 1 at Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport. They were reportedly carrying cocaine concealed in dessert packaging.

 

Their suspicious luggage was flagged at the airport's X-ray checkpoint. Upon further inspection, authorities discovered narcotics in blue packages labeled 'Angel Delight' within Collyer's bags. Stocker's suitcase also contained additional cocaine stored in seven plastic packets. In total, 994.56 grams of cocaine were confiscated, valued at approximately six billion Indonesian rupiahs, or around £296,000.

 

Concerned friends had raised online alerts about the couple’s disappearance, unaware of their arrest and detention by police. A third British national, named Phineas Float, 31, was subsequently arrested in connection with the case. Local media suggested he was supposed to meet Stocker and Collyer to collect the drugs. During a press event on Friday, the trio, alongside other drug suspects, were presented to the local media. While Stocker and Collyer appeared grave, Float was spotted laughing.

 

According to AKBP Ponco Indriyo, Deputy Director of Drug Investigation for Bali Police, the cocaine, totaling 994.56 grams, was transported via Doha International Airport in Qatar en route to Indonesia. The drugs were hidden within food packaging in their luggage, intended for distribution on Bali island; however, customs and police successfully intercepted them.

 

The police official noted that one of the suspects had connections to two additional drug trafficking cases but withheld more specifics due to ongoing investigations. Reports indicate that the British nationals could face up to 20 years in prison under Indonesia’s Narcotics Law Number 35 of 2009. They were part of a broader crackdown, 'Operation Antik Agung-2025,' which resulted in 149 drug-related arrests over 16 days.

 

Authorities managed to seize a range of drugs worth 9.5 billion IDR during the operation. These included 1.5 kg of methamphetamine, 5.4 kg of marijuana, 540 ecstasy tablets, along with the cocaine carried by Stocker and Collyer. Indonesia is known for its stringent drug regulations, where traffickers can face severe penalties, including life imprisonment or even the death penalty for significant quantities.

 

One high-profile British prisoner is Lindsay Sandiford, aged 67, who has been on death row in Bali for over ten years. Convicted for attempting to smuggle £1.6 million worth of cocaine into Indonesia back in 2013, Sandiford is known within the Kerobokan Prison as the 'Queen,' enjoying privileges such as premium meals and leading knitting groups for her fellow inmates.

Good 😊 

[novacova]

Good grief, it really boggles the mind why anyone would even consider bringing contraband drugs into a sea nation. Stupid, no other explanation needed.

Where do they get these figures, a kilo of coke can be had for $35,000 in Canada? I don't know what is goes for in the UK but they look like they were tempted by the huge markup. Even so it is not a good business to be in, first you loose your dope second you do twenty years in jail.

'Phineas Float' sounds like a name Rowling could have used in the ministry of magic.

A couple of troll posts have been removed, don't like the article then don't read it, but above all do not make derogatory comments about it.

They'll be getting their just deserts now. They even look wicked.

[ujayujay]

How stupid do you have to be

[impulse]

I wonder how many drug sniffing dogs it would take to cover the entire Bali airport luggage system? 

 

Not many, I'd bet.  'Couple of pounds of kibble a day, a rubber ball to chase as a reward, and they're probably better than any x-ray machine.

 

What a dumb move...

Muslims don’t  like dogs sniffing them and all their stuff.

Which makes it even likelier that the x-ray story is fabricated to hide the real process they used.

 

I can believe they were ratted out by someone.  I can believe that there were dogs working discretely in the back rooms.  But I cannot believe that an x-ray machine was able to distinguish between cake mix and cocaine in a box packed in luggage.  I carry spices, soup mix, pancake mix and cake mix through airports all the time.  So many people do, that they'd have to be really lucky to find the cocaine in all that background.

They always quote street value, normally per gram too.

It use to be 36k in the UK, but that was 20yrs ago,probably less now as its everywhere

As well they should be.   By using the term "ratted out" you make it appear that you disapprove of their being caught that way and that ratting out drug smugglers/users is a bad thing.

Or they can indeed detect cocaine with the x-ray machine.

In coke circles this is called a 'key'; in cooking circles it is called 'kilo'. Who is going to make a problem about 5.44 gr???
