A prolific drug dealer, who managed to smuggle more than $90,000 worth of ice onto a plane, was caught two days later after he walked in on a police raid.
Daniel Bennett, 29, flew with 335.76g of methamphetamine from Adelaide to Darwin before renting a Darwin hotel room.
Two days later he drove to an apartment block in The Narrows where a police drugs bust was already taking place.

A prolific drug dealer, who managed to smuggle more than $90,000 worth of ice onto a plane, was caught two days later after he walked in on a police raid
He gave police a false name but they searched his car and found 56.6g of ice, digital scales, empty clip-seal bags, a drug ledger ,$11,145 in cash and three mobile phones.
He also had two diamonds in a screw top car.
Police also raided his hotel room where they found 279g of ice $49,450 in cash and a stun gun disguised as a mobile phone.
Bennett pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing a commercial quantity of the drug, at the Supreme Court, after his arrest in February.
He was sentenced to four years and 10 months in jail with a non-parole period of three years and five months.
Justice Bokland said that drug ledgers found in his possession had indicated that he was selling meth for $7,000 to $8,000 per ounce.
This would have meant he had been in possession of more than $95,000 worth of methamphetamine.

The court heard that Bennett was selling meth by the ounce, with total potential profits amounting to more than $95,000 (stock image)
Justice Jenny Blokland told the court that Bennett expressed remorse, citing a difficult childhood and a family involved in the drug scene as his reasoning behind the offence.
His mother had previously spent time in jail for drug trafficking.
'He talks about growing up with a parent who had drug problems and that he knows first-hand the level of misery caused by methamphetamine in the community and that it can tear families apart,' she said.
