A BRITISH expat has been arrested for allegedly sending drugs to the US in the post.
According to Policia Nacional, the 49-year-old was regularly posting cocaine and LSD while claiming they were key rings or greeting cards.
The Brit was sending the packages from Fuengirola and was rumbled when the post office suspected some of his parcels.
After obtaining a warrant to open them, investigators confirmed they were hiding drugs and a wider probe was launched to track down the sender.
Police were able to seize 1.8kg of cocaine and 202 units of LSD.
The Brit has been sent to prison ahead of trial and is charged with drug trafficking.
