Matters against a man accused of possessing almost $1m worth of heroin in Mackay have reached the supreme court.
Van Dung Vu is charged with possessing a dangerous drug in excess of 200g on March 23, 2021.
It is alleged the Australian Border Force intercepted a package – later delivered to Kathy’s Spirit Nails at Caneland Central – that allegedly contained heroin worth about $993,000.
It is alleged the package was handed to Mr Vu before police stopped him.
His matters were first mentioned in Mackay Magistrates Court in March 2021 when he was released on bail on a number of conditions including a $100,000 surety.
On Monday an indictment for aggravated heroin possession against Mr Vu was presented in Mackay Supreme Court.
Law clerk Nick Coughlan, acting as town agent for Cridland and Hua Lawyers, said they were awaiting further police statement and requested an adjournment.
