Police in Papua New Guinea have seized $86 million worth of cocaine they believe was destined for Australia.
PNG police commissioner David Manning addressed the media on Friday night saying the 750kg of cocaine was to be transported aboard a plane which crashed at Papa Lealea outside Port Moresby on Sunday.
The Australian pilot of the Cessna 402C light aircraft had been arrested and charged with illegally entering the country.
Police had said he was helping with their inquiries and the 28 cartons of drugs were located after his arrest.
