Australian woman in drugs arrest

INDONESIAN police arrested an Australian woman on suspicion she smuggled more than 9lbs of marijuana to the tourist island of Bali, a customs official said yesterday.

Schapelle Leigh Corby, 27, was arrested on Saturday when she arrived at Bali’s airport from Sydney.

Customs officials said they noticed a bulge in her surfboard bag and found the marijuana inside.

“The narcotics test kit confirmed it was marijuana,” said Slamet Rochim, chief of the airport’s security.
