MONTREAL: Three Canadian cruise ship passengers who were charged in Australia with drug smuggling were refused bail Wednesday after making a court appearance in Sydney.
Andre Tamine, 64, Isabelle Lagace, 28, and Melina Roberge, 23, were arrested in late August after the MS Sea Princess, operated by California-based Princess Cruises, berthed in the Australian metropolis.
Detection dogs helped police allegedly find 95 kilograms of cocaine in their suitcases, according to Australian Border Force commander Tim Fitzgerald.
