Cocaine Packages Worth $100K Wash Ashore On FL Beaches

WALTON COUNTY, FL — Packages of cocaine worth more than $100,000 were discovered on several Walton County beaches this week, according to county authorities.

The Walton County Sheriff's Office said three packages of cocaine were discovered Monday and Tuesday after they washed ashore at three different beaches. The packages were marked with different designs, including one that resembled the Chanel logo, according to images shared by authorities.

The first package was discovered Monday when a beachgoer found it on Scenic Gulf Drive in Miramar Beach, authorities said. The package was in a clear Ziploc bag wrapped in clear plastic, according to the sheriff's office.

Later that day, deputies were called to the Gulfview Heights beach access after a person noticed the package and informed a lifeguard. According to authorities, the package was black in color and was wrapped in a bio bag with a logo sticker on the outside.

The third package was discovered at Grayton Beach State Park on Tuesday, the sheriff's office said.

All three packages were taken by authorities for disposal.

The U.S. Coast Guard and the Walton County Sheriff's Office VICE/Narcotics Unit are investigating the incidents.
