A man has found $4 million worth of cocaine while looking for sea turtle nests on Amelia Island beach in Nassau County, Florida.
According to police, the 70+ pounds of cocaine bricks are worth $1 million in brick form with a street value of ~$4 million.
Police say it is rare to find this much cocaine so far north.
“It’s very rare here in Nassau County. Many years ago, there were bales of MJ that washed up on the beach, but to my knowledge, something like this washing up is certainly a rare event,” Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said.
“More than likely, it was on a boat that law enforcement or Coast Guard was getting close to and they just threw it overboard to get rid of it so they didn’t have possession of it. The sea current just washes it up along the coastline,” he added.
Just a few days ago, another discovery was made in the Florida Keys where a boater found 65 pounds of cocaine floating in the water.
More coke was also found in the Florida Keys during a beach cleanup.
