The captain and first mate of the cargo ship Longdawn were arrested following the capsize of a small fishing vessel off the coast of the Reykjanes Peninsula on May 16. The sailor was rescued.

Following a police investigation, traces of alcohol, THC and Benzos were found in Longdawn’s first mate. The captain and first mate are detained in Iceland until June 13.
