Three Canadians have been charged with drug smuggling after cocaine was found hidden in an NSC boxship last month.

The seizure was made from the 2,872-teu Arica (built 2007) at the port of Halifax.

The Chronicle Herald reported that Matthew Ryan Lambert, 34, Dangis Seinauskas, 46, and Darcy Peter Bailey, 46, made a brief court appearance this week, but their bail hearings were adjourned.
