In the afternoon of Wednesday, December 18, the customs service of the cruise port of Sint Maarten was contacted by the security team of the cruise ship "Harmony of the Seas". In fact, cocaine had been found on a passenger on the ship.
Customs officials interviewed the suspect, of American descent, who said she had received the narcotics from a passenger who was traveling on another cruise ship, the "Sky Princess", which was also calling on the island today -the. The prosecutor who was informed, decided, in view of the quantity of drugs, to only give a fine to the suspect who was thus able to continue her journey. The amount of the fine imposed on the tourist was not disclosed and the cocaine sachets were seized.
Including this case, the customs department exceeded the number of appeals, as well as arrests, compared to the previous year. The Sint Maarten customs service considers that this is only possible with "the continued support and attention of the current administration, which is particularly innovative and dynamic", as well as "highly motivated and proactive agents" who go beyond a sense of duty to effectively protect borders._RM
