Over a quarter of a tonne of cocaine has bobbed up on beaches in the region since December, with the latest packages found at Freshwater and Curl Curl.
Another five “bricks” of cocaine worth almost $1 million have washed up on Sydney beaches, the latest in a string of wayward drug parcels that have bobbed up in the past four months.
“Officers attached to Northern Beaches Police Area Command seized the items, which will be forensically examined,” police said in a statement. It’s not yet known whether the drug packages were thrown overboard or attached to the hull of a cargo vessel – both scenarios have taken place before. However, some of the packages found recently have been encrusted in barnacles, suggesting they had spent some weeks in the water.
