29-year-old Adelaide man Raman Sharma has admitted that he tried to deliver drugs into a medi-hotel during the COVID-19 pandemic period concealed in food delivery bags.
In Adelaide Magistrates Court he pleaded guilty to possessing opium and heroin. He also pleaded guilty to intending to supply those drugs to another person.
The magistrate granted Mr Sharma bail and he shall be back in court in November.
In October last year, Police issued a statement saying that there were no food receipts in the bags when searched and a small amount of heroin and others drugs were recovered.
Mr Sharma was working as a food delivery person to the people quarantined at the hotel. However, his bags were searched by SA Police as routine protocol.
