Three travellers from Argentina have been arrested coming into the country in the past fortnight in connection with cocaine importations.

An 18-year-old appeared in the Auckland District Court yesterday.

He was charged with possession of cocaine for supply. Two others appeared in court the Saturday before, one man an alleged drug mule found with cocaine inside his body.

Another man charged was described by his lawyer as the mule's "minder".
