German’s ‘Holiday’ Extended

KUTA

German tourist Andreas Binder, 31, has won an extended stay in Bali – by being arrested for possession of 1.26 grams of marijuana at his hotel in Jl Poppies I.

He was arrested on January 21 at 7pm after local people reported “as suspicious transaction” between Binder and another man involving a small brown package.

Binder told police he bought the drugs from an unknown man but the drug squad believes he bought them from a drug syndicate known to be operating in Kuta.

Investigations are continuing.

    There are enough warnings when you arrive at the airport. No sympathy for those that takes drugs to Bali.
