‘Frail’ Brit, 79, faces time in Chile prison after crystal meth found in luggage

Police estimate the methamphetamine would have been worth around £200,000 on Chilean streets

A British ‘typical grandad’ who allegedly attempted to smuggle five kilos of methamphetamine into Chile says he was promised a £3,000,000 reward.

The unnamed 79-year-old flew in to Santiago from the Mexican city of Cancun, and was preparing to make his way to Australia.

But he was detained after cops allegedly found him travelling with powerful crystal meth worth £200,000 in a hidden compartment.
