Two Royal Caribbean workers from the West Indies appeared in a Bermuda court on August 12, charged with drug importation. One of the men plead guilty while the other defendant pleaded not guilty. Both men were remanded into custody.
The two workers were charged with importing an estimated 200 grams of cocaine with an estimated street value of just over $52,000. Crown Counsel Tawana Tannock told the court the drugs were found in the soles of the shoes worn by one of the men as he disembarked from the Royal Caribbean ship earlier this month. A search revealed a small brown package in each shoe.
