Yacht, crew detained in South Pacific


A yacht and several of her crew have been detained in Vanuatu amid speculation of drug running, arms running and money laundering.
The captain and at least two men who crewed on the 75m S/Y Phocea have been arrested, according to a story on the New Zealand news site Stuff.
The men have pleading not guilty and will go to trial later this month.
According to news reports, the yacht set off from Italy, went through the Panama Canal and stopped in Tonga before mooring in Vila Harbour nearly two weeks ago. The yacht remains in Vila.
