emam Posted March 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Not a P&O ship, but I wonder if the drugs were found during scans coming back onto the ship. Do you think they would have let them on-board then travelled to the next port where they would have informed the police. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquishTheWhale Posted March 29, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Interesting! The article alluded to the fact the police already knew about the drug smuggling operation rather than the ship detecting the drugs, but that could just be the way it was written.

Clodia Posted March 29, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I wonder if the fact that MSC ships are a bit like ferries in that passengers get on and off at each port makes them more vulnerable to smuggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If indeed luggage faces strict scanning when boarding, then, after seeing how lax it is when coming back on board at normal port stops, I would have thought it easier to smuggle things aboard on port visits.

I think the fact that 12 people were arrested very much suggests the authorities had some prior knowledge about this ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
