Huge coke bundle found on beach

When I lived in Miami, Florida, I sometimes heard tales of people who had friends whose cousins' girlfriends' uncles said they knew someone who had found a bale of marijuana washed up on the beach that smugglers had dumped when fleeing the Coast Guard. Yesterday, a police officer stumbled upon more than 80 pounds of cocaine, apparently worth around $400,000, that had washed up on a beach just north of Miami. A police spokesperson told the Miami Herald that the drugs were wrapped in a cellophane package that was coated with barnacles. Link
