[TX] $2M worth of cocaine washes up on Galveston beach

$2M worth of cocaine washes up on Galveston beach
June 1, 2010 - KTRK

Galveston police have a sharp-eyed citizen to thank for helping them find more than $2 million worth of cocaine.

On May 22, a concerned citizen called the Galveston Police Department Narcotics Division after spotting a backpack that had washed ashore on East Beach. Detectives located the backpack on the water's edge just in front of the Beach Town Community on East Beach.

Detectives recovered a black bag which was found to contain 16 bricks believed to be cocaine. The bricks were field tested and police say they tested positive for cocaine.

Based on the condition of the bag, it appeared that the bag had been in the water for some time. Each brick was wrapped in a rubber wrapper, then in a large balloon and then wrapped again in a plastic wrap. Each had identifying markings and bar codes.

According to police, the 16 bricks weighed a total of 37 pounds and two ounces, giving it a street value of approximately $2.1 million.

Detectives are assisting the DEA with their follow up investigation.

It's always been a dream of mine to find a dufflebag filled with weed. I damn sure wouldn't be calling the cops, though. :bigweed:

this story happens again and again. always the same good samaritan.... always hundreds of thousands of dollars or more worth of dope.... i wonder if there is something more complex behind all this. A way for cartels to get shit to the crooked cop that looks legit? No charges, No evidence needed, just millions of coke to destroy....

I don't even like coke but god damn I would be thrilled to find just one brick of that.  That's somewhat close to me too.  The water in Galveston is fucking dirty so I don't really ever have a reason to visit the beach down there.

>I wonder if there is something more complex behind all this.<

Could be, but I think it's because of prohibition there is just so much drugs out there and so many people involved in the business.
I used to think when I am old I will get one of those metal detectors and retire on a beach. Screw that! I'm gonna get a drug sniffing dog instead. :yesnod:

You'd probably be better off just sniffing around the beach yourself, Veg.  I bet Fido would give a false alert every 20 feet. :wink:
