A Lot Of Sniffing
 

A British couple in their seventies were arrested after authorities discovered approximately 22 pounds (10 kilograms) of cocaine in their cruise ship cabin last week.
The two passengers, aged 72 and 70, were detained on suspicion of trafficking narcotics when the ship docked in Lisbon, Portugal on December 4.

The couple was traveling aboard the Marco Polo cruise ship operated by British cruise line Cruise and Maritime Voyages. The ship, carrying 610 passengers and 294 crew members, departed Tilbury in Essex on November 5 en route to the West Indies and the Azores. After the pair were arrested, the Marco Polo continued on to the U.K., arriving on December 8.

Maybe they were just heavy users, John.

Yes they were, 4 suit case that's more than 5 pound in each bag.

Hi John.
A couple of years ago they caught two young girls on a cruise ship in Sydney with about five suitcases full of cocaine, think they were sent for a long stretch. They also caught a Granny who was going to tour Aus in a bus she had brought, again chock-a-block with the stuff.

Updates in the Press this weekend. It appears these two persons have been drug running for some
years and have been in prison in Scandinavia. Lived in the Torrevieja area of Spain and were active in the drug trade there as well. So age means nothing if you are a crook!

So that’s why you spend so much time in Spain Neville! :jump:

Ray,

Well I used to! Found the Gin was enough without the powder/pills. Spain now sold and no longer visiting the area.
