An Australian man has been arrested in Bali in connection with the alleged smuggling of 1.8 kilograms of cocaine.
Police in the Indonesian province say Lamar Aaron Ahchee, 43, was arrested at the location where the drugs were allegedly delivered.
Officers said they confiscated a total of 206 small packages of cocaine — worth an estimated $1.1 million — during the operation.
Mr Ahchee is yet to be charged with a specific offence, but authorities said he could be facing a range of potential charges, including some that carry the death sentence as the maximum penalty.
He was presented to the media at a press conference on Monday, wearing an orange jumpsuit and black balaclava.
Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) confirmed to ABC News it is providing consular assistance to an Australian citizen who has been detained in Bali.
"Owing to our privacy obligations, we are unable to provide further comment," a department spokesperson said.
Speaking at the press conference on Monday, Bali police said they had received a tip-off that there would be two separate packages of drugs coming into the province from overseas.
They said the first package was bound for an apartment in North Kuta, in Badung, while the second package was going to be delivered to an address in Mengwi.
Police said the packages arrived in Denpasar, Bali's capital, last Tuesday, with the cocaine inside them wrapped in Lindor Lindt chocolate wrappers.
The drugs were allegedly detected by customs officers using an X-ray machine, who then contacted Bali police and arranged for the delivery of the packages to take place under police observation.
The following day, Mr Ahchee allegedly contacted a motorbike delivery driver through a mobile app and asked him to collect one of the packages from a post office, according to police.
The package was collected on Thursday and passed on to another delivery driver before being driven to the apartment in North Kuta, police said, before the original driver picked up the second package from a different post office and drove it directly to the same address.
Mr Ahchee was arrested that same day after allegedly receiving the packages.
Police are not suggesting that Mr Ahchee was the mastermind of the smuggling operation, but that he was promised 50 million rupiah (about $4,731) by someone called "boss" to pick up the packages.
