One Million Dollars in Cocaine Found on P&O Cruise Ship

Million Dollar Drug Bust on Cruise Ship

Three passengers were arrested last month after authorities found nearly one million dollars in cocaine in two cruise cabins on the P&O Aurora.  The vessel docked in San Francisco from Curacao and U.S. Customs officials performed their normal routine.  The individual in question had an “anomaly” in his story, causing concern amongst agents.  Ship Mate insiders speculate that when asked if he had mass amounts of narcotics with him, the man answered “heck yeah… um, I mean, no sir.”

Officials found 28.6 pounds of cocaine in the rooms of him and his cruise-neighbors, two New Zealanders.  All were on a worldwide tour and, apparently, didn’t want to sleep during the 106 day cruise.  The three were obviously detained and the Aurora continued on its way.  The full story here.
