Two Britons have been arrested on the island of Bali for allegedly trying to smuggle in 1.3kg of cocaine.

Kial Robinson, 29, and Piran Ezra Wilkinson, 48, both from Chichester, in West Sussex, are currently being held by Bali's Narcotic Agency.

Robinson, who owns a landscape gardening business, according to documents filed to Companies House, was arrested after being stopped at Bali's International Airport with allegedly a package containing cocaine found in his backpack.

The Daily Mail understands he boarded a Turkish Airlines flight from Barcelona and arrived on the island on September 3.

He claimed he was offered $10,000 to peddle the drugs and was told to give them to someone who would come to a villa in Mengwi, Badung, near Canggu, according to sources.
