A total of 67 pounds (30.4 kilos) of cocaine in bales were found by authorities this weekend in a Daytona Beach Beach, en Volusia County (east coast of Florida), reported the Pborder patrol of the sector of Miami.
The drugs, according to Walter N. Slosar, head of the Border Patrol’s Miami sector, have a street value of about $970,000.
Images from the Border Patrol show a large plastic bag with about 25 bricks of drugs.
Agents from the Border Patrol and the Volusia Sheriff’s Office were involved in the seizure of the cocaine.
The discovery of bundles of cocaine and drugs on the coasts and beaches of Florida and their recovery by the authorities is a fact that is repeated with some frequency in this state, mostly in the Keys, in the extreme south.
It was not reported that any arrests had been made or the origin of the seized bales.
Last August, the mayor of the Florida city of Tampa, the Democrat Jane Castor, found 70 pounds (almost 32 kilos) of cocaine floating in the sea when he was enjoying a day of fishing with his family.
Castor, who before becoming mayor was a police officer for 30 years, was near Marathon, one of the islands in the Florida Keys, when she and her relatives saw a black spot that they thought was a school of fish and turned out to be a bundle plastic with “bricks” of cocaine inside.
