ORLANDO, Fla., May 23 (Reuters) - Three crewmen of a Disney (NYSE:DIS - news) cruise ship have been arrested at Port Canaveral, central Florida, on charges of trying to smuggle cocaine off the vessel, the U.S. Customs Service said on Wednesday.
Customs agents spotted packages bulging from the trouser legs of the men as they carried out a routine inspection of passengers and crew disembarking from the Disney Magic on Saturday.
The men were found to have packages of cocaine taped to their legs. A total of 6.6 pounds (3 kg) of cocaine was seized worth approximately $60,000 wholesale.
