Two British 16-year-old girls were found guilty by a Ghanaian court for attempting to smuggle 13 pounds of cocaine from Ghana to the U.K., according to a BBC News report.

Yasemin Vatansever and Yatunde Diya, both from London, were arrested in July at an airport in Accra for trying to smuggle the drugs onto a British Airways flight to London, the report said.

The girls are expected to appeal the verdict. They had told the court that they were set up, but the prosecution said they were involved from the start in the drug smuggling plot, the report said.

Both could face up to three years in a juvenile detention facility when sentenced on Dec. 5.
