The load of drugs was discovered by a good Samaritan who contacted the authorities, said official (File)
Hurricane Debby landed in Florida Monday bringing high winds, pouring rain — and 25 tightly wrapped packages of cocaine worth more than $1 million.
Debby, which hit the state’s northern Big Bend region as a Category One hurricane but has since been downgraded to a tropical storm, washed the trove of drugs ashore along Florida’s southernmost tip.
“Hurricane Debby blew 25 packages of cocaine (70 lbs.) onto a beach in the Florida Keys,” US Border Patrol acting chief patrol Agent Samuel Briggs II wrote on X.
The load of drugs, which Mr Briggs reported was valued at more than $1 million, was discovered by a good Samaritan who contacted the authorities.
