A man wanted over his alleged role in smuggling 365kg of cocaine was eventually sprung by police after ordering Uber Eats in his own name.
Mate Stipinovich, 49, had been on the run for six weeks until police found him hiding under a back patio spa when they raided a home in Byford, south of Perth, on Wednesday night.

Stipinovich, a former Rebels bikie nominee, also allegedly had a gun in a plastic bag within arm's reach at the time of his arrest.
