LEMBKE LOSES BAIL BID

Accused cocaine smuggler, Craig Lembke, will likely remain in custody for another 12 months, after failing in his latest bid for bail.

The 48-year-old’s application was refused in the Supreme Court.

Lembke is accused of transporting 700-kilos of cocaine, worth an estimated $245-million, on a yacht from Tahiti to Lake Macquarie.

His trial is set down for September next year.
