October 20, 2008 by David 

P&O Cruises’ Arcadia was raided whilst she was docked in Southampton as part of a drugs raid.

HM Revenue and Customs and the UK Border Agency seized drugs with an estimated street value of £1.2 million.

The raid led to seven people being arrested that are said to be from the Birmingham and Manchester area. Four of the arrested were found with 30kg of cocaine strapped to their bodies.

None of the arrested are crew members of P&O.
