Authorities in Bermuda said Tuesday that they arrested four U.S. cruise ship passengers accused of drug possession.
Police said in a statement that the suspects had a “significant quantity of illegal drugs” including cannabis and carfentanil, which experts say is 100 times more potent than fentanyl and is used to tranquilize elephants.
“This seizure may have prevented a potential tragedy,” said acting Detective Superintendent Derricka Burns.
The suspects also were accused of possessing vape pens and suspected THC gummies.
Bermuda police said security officers aboard a Carnival cruise ship had detained the suspects.
They were arrested upon their arrival to the wealthy British overseas territory located in the northern Atlantic Ocean.
Carnival said in a brief message that it complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
“We follow a zero-tolerance drug policy,” the company said. “We also advise our guests that they can be personally subject to local law enforcement actions.”
