FORMER swimming champion Geoff Huegill’s wife Sara has been arrested for allegedly stealing a pair of leather pants worth $2500 from a Byron Bay boutique on the New South Wales north coast.

The 24-year-old mother of two is accused of stealing the trousers from the Island Luxe store in Byron Bay, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Ms Huegill, a former publicist, will face Byron Bay local court in June.

In 2014, Sara and Geoff Huegill were caught snorting cocaine at Randwick races and charged with drug possession.

Police were patrolling the venue on a Saturday race day as part of their regular duties when they were called to a suite in the grandstand by a security guard.

The couple was found with a small quantity of white powder and were later both placed on a six-month good behaviour bond.
