Hurricane “Debbie” washed up huge quantities of cocaine on a Florida beach, with an estimated value of more than $1 million.
The U.S. Border Patrol reported that a beachgoer discovered 25 packages containing 32 kilograms of cocaine, and immediately contacted the relevant authorities.
The Border Patrol did not reveal the exact location of the cocaine discovery, but published photos of the packages, which were labeled with a distinctive red triangle.
The person who found the cocaine reportedly found the packages wrapped inside a garbage bag, amid seaweed and debris.
Hurricane Debbie, which made landfall in the United States as a Category 1 hurricane with wind speeds exceeding 130 kilometers per hour, washed these packages to the beach.
It is noteworthy that in August 2021, a beachgoer in the Florida Keys found 25 packages containing 70 pounds of cocaine with an estimated value of more than $1 million.
In another incident, a person discovered 67 pounds of cocaine worth about the same amount on a beach near Boca Raton, the drugs often coming from illegal sea smuggling between the Caribbean and Florida.
