Danish police say they have arrested 27 people for suspected drug smuggling after finding some 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of cocaine on a Bahamas-registered cargo vessel plying Danish waters.

Copenhagen police said on Feb. 15 in a statement that the cocaine was seized during an internationally coordinated bust on Saturday on the container ship Duncan Island while it was sailing south of the town of Gedser.
