Tasmania Police is extraditing a man and a woman from NSW to Hobart, after they failed to appear in court on drug trafficking charges.
The 48-year-old woman and 49-year-old man are on trial for trafficking in a controlled substance, where it is alleged they were involved in the importing of approximately $700,000 worth of illicit drugs into Tasmania in 2019.
At the time, the man was reportedly the national vice president of the Bandidos Outlaw Motorcycle Gang.
