A snorkeler discovered 25 bricks of cocaine in the water off the Florida Keys on Wednesday.


According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, an unidentified snorkeler found a 68-pound bale containing the bricks of cocaine near Craig Key and notified local authorities.

The sheriff's office then alerted the US Border Patrol. The bricks were valued at more than $1.5 million, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said.

"On Wednesday, a Good Samaritan discovered 68 lbs. of cocaine valued at over 1.5 million dollars floating in the #FloridaKeys," US Border Patrol Agent Miami Sector, Thomas G. Martin, tweeted Thursday. "The individual noticed a large black bundle wrapped in tape & contacted local authorities. The bag contained 25 bricks of cocaine."

People have spotted cocaine bricks in the waters near the Keys before. In December, a fisherman found 74 pounds of cocaine bricks south of Sugarloaf Key, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office. The street value of the discovery was $1.2 million.

After Hurricane Dorian moved past Florida's east coast in September 2019, the massive waves pushed bricks of cocaine to two separate beaches before they were found by police, Insider's Lauren Frias previously reported.

Who ever that consignment was entrusted to is probably dead. Him and all his loved ones.

Dead Pablo Escobar is doing cocaine giveaway as dead Abacha is doing cash giveaway.

LEGENDS!

I can imagine whoever was incharge of that consignment being heavily tortured somewhere or he is probably dead by now. Drug business is one of the most dangerous business ever, you can lose your life in an instant.

In maffians world, mistakes like this are not to be tolerated. The only way out is to die protecting the goods.

Anyways, good one from the American citizen. If it was NPL, they would have snapped the person and post it along side the goods to the world or arrest him even.

Somebody reading this news wished he or she was the one presented with this golden opportunity. Over 700m naira

No implicate yourself

If you ever find something like that, it's wise to not tell, and never go back to the area. You don't want to be identified as the person responsible for getting their c0ke seized. You also don't want to cross paths with tr4ffickers. If they don't harm you, they might force you to join them.

The right thing to do is tell, but it's not safe. Law enforcement can only protect you so much, and witness protection is not a life you want.

Law enforcement should be the ones exploring these types of areas. Civilians shouldn't be put in this position so often. Cops can't find everything, but they obviously need to explore alternative means of investigating. We have cheaper and better technology that can do this, e.g., underwater drones. They can even use remote water sampling devices to detect trace amounts of drugs.
