They were arrested in five separate operations by customs and police, in which 8.8lbs (3.9kg) of cocaine were seized, as well as marijuana, ecstasy and ketamine.

Dozens of convicted smugglers are on death row under Indonesia’s strict drug laws.

The country’s last executions were in 2016, when an Indonesian and three foreigners were shot by a firing squad.

Police, who paraded the five at a news conference, said the British man had received nearly 68lbs (30kg) of cannabis oil in the mail.

The other suspects are from Peru, China, Malaysia and Germany.

The cocaine, smuggled by a Peruvian man in the lining of his suitcase, had a value of about 10.2 billion rupiah (£554,000), officers said.

The German suspect had allegedly tried to smuggle 5.7lbs (2.5kg) of hashish on a flight from Bangkok.
