A NSW man has been charged over an alleged drug importation plot after 200 kilograms of cocaine was unearthed aboard a catamaran sailing near the Queensland–NSW border.
The catamaran had sailed from the Tweed River on April 14, travelling north before turning its transponder off, police said.
Police will allege the vessel picked up the drugs at sea before sailing back towards the coast and turning its transponder back on as it returned to the Tweed River.
