Added spices in Pizza Box

A 33-year-old woman has been arrested and charged by Alyangula police for attempting to bring cannabis and alcohol into a Groote Eylandt dry community.

Police received information that a woman was carrying bottles of spirits and a stash of cannabis aboard a flight from Darwin to Groote Eylandt.

When the aircraft landed at Groote Eylandt, police intercepted two female passengers after they disembarked.

Both women were escorted to the luggage area where their luggage was searched, and police found a pizza box secreting 182 individual deal bags of cannabis each containing about one gram.

The woman was bailed to appear in the Alyangula Court of Summary Jurisdiction on 15 February.
