Three Canadian women have been arrested for allegedly smuggling £17m worth of cocaine into Australia on a luxury cruise. Melina Roberge, 23, Isabelle Lagacé, 28, and Andre Tamine, 63, all from Quebec, were detained by border police who raided the MS Sea Princess in Sydney.
Australian authorities seized more than 95 kilograms of the drug, which had been stowed in suitcases in the three passengers’ cabins.
The alleged smugglers had been travelling on the ship for 51 days, on a round-the-world trip which Roberge had documented on Instagram.
