THREE Canadians have been
arrested on drug importation
charges and approximately 95kg
of cocaine has been seized as
part of a police operation on
board Sea Princess while she was
berthed in Sydney on Sun.
Australian Border Force officers
boarded the vessel and with
the assistance of detector dogs,
searched a number of passenger
cabins on the ship.
The trio appeared in Sydney’s
Central Local court yesterday,
charged with importing a
commercial quantity of cocaine.
The maximum penalty for this
offence is life imprisonment.
Princess Cruises said in a
statement it “provided full
support to authorities to bring
the law enforcement operation to
a successful conclusion”.
“All Princess Cruises security
staff are highly trained and closely
cooperate with government
agencies, customs, immigration
and police services worldwide on
an ongoing basis.”
