British customs and border agents say they arrested seven people and seized 30 kilograms (66 pounds) of cocaine in a raid on a cruise ship.
Enforcement agents swooped on the P&O ship Arcadia in Southampton on Sunday.
The agency said Monday that four of those arrested had the cocaine strapped to their bodies, and added that none of those arrested was a crew member. The suspects were being questioned but none were charged immediately.
The Revenue and Customs agency estimates the cocaine had a street value of 1.2 million pounds (US$2.1 million).
