Cocaine bust just the start, say cops | The Daily Telegraph: "latest alleged bust involved the arrest of Gold Coast men Brian Blackman, 40, and William Long, 38, Brighton-le-Sands man Mohamad Jomaa, 34, and Minto woman Bronwyn Reely, 38. All were charged with attempting to possess a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug. They remained in custody overnight.
A fifth, Steven Christodoulou - charged with aiding and abetting - was given bail.
Christodoulou's lawyer Michael Croke told Central Local Court that his client had a 'clean skin record'. He described the AFP's allegations as the 'skinniest' he had ever seen.
The AFP alleges Christodoulou, 39, drove two men - believed to be Jomaa and Blackman - to a house at Minto where the drugs had allegedly been taken to from Port Botany.
The trio were arrested on Wednesday afternoon when they arrived at the Minto house, allegedly to shift the drugs into the boot of Christodoulou's car.
'My client has no criminal history and never been before a court,' Mr Croke said.
Magistrate Alan Moore granted Christodoulou bail with a $500,000 surety and on the condition that he not approach within 1km of Port Botany or airports."
