Drug courier with motorcycle gang link jailed

A Perth man who tried to smuggle about seven kilograms of cannabis through Adelaide Airport in his suitcase has been jailed for more than three years.

Jody Franklin, 33, told the District Court he earned $3,000 for some tattoo work and was told that if he trafficked cannabis back to Perth with him, a further $5,000 would be cut from the price of a motorbike he was paying off.
