Date published: 20 October 2008
A woman from Rochdale has been charged alongside three other people after cocaine worth an estimated £1.2million was seized on a cruise liner.
Natalie Ellen Quinn, 26, of Grenville Walk in Littleborough, was arrested on the P&O ship Arcadia in Southampton early yesterday morning (Sunday 20 October).
Seven people were arrested in total in an operation involving HM Revenue and Customs and the UK Border Agency.
Quinn is believed to be one of four who allegedly had a total of 30 kilos of cocaine strapped to their bodies. She was charged alongside Calvin Hylton, 41, from Manchester, Briony Dyce, 25, from Birmingham, and Camille Dupee, 19, for whom no address was given.
None of those detained were members of the ship's crew and three others that were arrested have been bailed.
The four people charged are due before Southampton Magistrates' Court charged with drug smuggling.
