According to reports, over thirty bricks of cocaine washed ashore on an Alabama beach on Monday night.
The haul weighed roughly 66 pounds and has a street value of $1.2 million. Authorities say that beachgoers noticed the bricks and alerted police immediately. The drugs have since been handed over to U.S. Customs.
“It starts with more questions than answers and we rarely get any answers on these cases,” said Sgt. Jason Woodruff with Gulf Shores Police. “It is rare, but we have something like this, generally once every year, once every other year but certainly nothing, you know, like this amount,” Woodruff said.
Despite the amount, it's unlikely an investigation will lead to anything, especially from the perspective of local authorities. “We’ll typically get notified if there’s other wash ups along the gulf coast, but we are…as far as our case, I say our case. It’s not even really a case for us but it’s really a closed case from go for us. I mean, there’s really nobody to prosecute,” Woodruff explained.
