Today’s social-media life lesson: Just because your life looks good on Instagram doesn’t mean you won’t be busted for cocaine smuggling.
On Sunday, two Quebecois women were arrested with over $30 million worth of cocaine when they docked in Sydney, Australia, after two months traveling the world on luxury cruise ship the MS Sea Princess. Melina Roberge, 22, and Isabelle LagacĂ©, 28, face life in prison after Australian police found a combined 200 pounds of cocaine in their suitcases — Australia’s largest ever cocaine bust on a boat or plane — as well as in the suitcase of 63-year-old Quebecer Andre Jorge Tamine, whose connection to the girls remains unclear.
According to Vice, Roberge documented most of the voyage on Instagram, which included sipping coconuts on a sandy beach and ATV riding. I’ve gotta say, aside from that last day, the trip looked great!
One thing that wasn’t documented on Roberge’s feed, though: the moment(s) when she purchased $30 million worth of cocaine. Thankfully, Australian immigration snapped this ‘gram for the road.
