It's not only on private yachts: Three men have been arrested after allegedly trying to import 20 kilograms of cocaine into Sydney on a cruise ship. The US nationals, two aged 49 and one a 61-year-old, were arrested when the ship arrived in Sydney Harbour on Friday. They were expected to face court on Saturday charged with importing a commercial quantity of cocaine after a joint operation between Australian, US and New Zealand police, customs and homeland security officers. "This is yet another example of the reach we have to combat importations, regardless of their size or import methodology," said David Stewart, the Australian Federal Police's Organised Crime acting national manager. A US Drug Enforcement Agency spokesman said the multinational approach is a force multiplier against those transporting illegal drugs around the world. Meanwhile, a 34-year-old Brazilian woman was also expected to face court in Sydney after she was charged with importing six kilograms of cocaine in luggage at Sydney airport. www.smh.com.au/national/three-arrested-in-cruise-ship-cocaine-plot-20151107-gktd8q.html
