£1m drug-smuggling bid on cruise ship
A 41-YEAR-OLD man and three women aged 19, 25 and 26 pleaded guilty yesterday to trying to smuggle more than £1 million of cocaine into the UK on a cruise ship. Customs officers swooped on P&O's Arcadia as it docked in Southampton on 19 October and found the four with cocaine strapped to their bodies.
They will be sentenced next month at Southampton Crown Court.
