Second Day of Cocaine Packages Washing Ashore in Yucatan December 25, 2023 - BNN
Yucatan, Mexico’s picturesque shoreline has been an unexpected landing spot for illicit narcotics, marking the second consecutive day of cocaine packages washing ashore. The new discovery took place in the sleepy coastal town of Chicxulub Puerto, where a nondescript black bag, teeming with 25 packages of cocaine, was unearthed by a pair of unsuspecting foreigners.
The Discovery
The unsuspecting couple, whose nationalities have been kept under wraps, promptly alerted the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP). State police, upon confirming the presence of the bag and suspecting it to contain drugs, swiftly notified federal authorities. A federal ministerial police officer from the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) was dispatched to the scene. The officer meticulously counted the individual packages in the bag, confirming a total of 25.
Verification and Response
An examination of the packages authenticated their contents as cocaine. The black bag, which bore signs of being in the water for an extended period, was adorned with adherences such as algae and shells. In response to the incident, personnel from the Army, Navy, and National Guard joined the SSP.
The Aftermath
The confiscated drugs were meticulously packaged and placed under the custody of the FGR, marking a second similar occurrence within a week. Just last Saturday, the port of Chabihau was the scene of a similar incident when packages of drugs were discovered by elements of the Navy.
These events highlight the strategic importance of Yucatan, with its connections to Europe and South America, and its well-utilized routes for narcotics trafficking. The region’s appeal to criminal groups is underscored by its geographical positioning and access to key trafficking routes.

Cocaine packages totalling 124kg found washed up on beaches between Sydney and Newcastle December 27, 2023 - The Guardian
A fisherman on Sydney’s northern beaches is one of several members of the public to discover packages containing 124kg of cocaine that have washed up on the New South Wales coast, sparking a police investigation.
NSW police on Wednesday confirmed its state crime command were investigating after the packages were discovered on beaches between Sydney and Newcastle from Friday. The initial barnacle-encrusted discoveries sparked a warning against removing or opening any more that were discovered.
A member of the public found the first large package, at Magenta on the state’s Central Coast, at about 8pm on Friday 22 December. Police seized the item, which they allege contained 39 sealed packages inside, suspected to be approximately 39kg of cocaine.
On Sunday 24 December, another seven individually wrapped packages were found by members of the public at Magenta beach and Blacksmiths beach in Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast’s Avoca and Pelican beaches and at Pantaloon Bay, and at Manly’s North Steyne beach.
Those packages were believed to contain a further 7kg of cocaine, police said.
They said further packages had been discovered this week, including by a fisherman on Tuesday morning at the Barrenjoey Headland off Sydney’s northern beaches, who found a blue barrel containing 39 individually wrapped 1kg bricks of cocaine.
Later that day, another member of the public found a suspicious package containing approximately 39 individually sealed packages, which were believed to be approximately 39kg of cocaine, at Newcastle’s ocean baths.
In each case, local police seized the packages to undergo further forensic examination.
Detectives were working closely with local officers, the air wing and water police, as well as the Australian Border Force and Surf Life Saving NSW, to seize any outstanding packages and determine their origin, police said.
Det Ch Supt Jason Weinstein, the director of state crime command, thanked the public for reporting the packages to police.
“We thank those who have heeded the warning to report any suspicious packages to police as we get to the bottom of this matter and we remind people that being in possession of a prohibited drug is a criminal offence,” he said.
“Detectives and specialist police are currently combing beaches and coastlines for any outstanding packages and working behind the scenes to make sure we find and hold accountable those responsible.”

You people are a bunch of completely pathetic worthless losers.
Your lives literally revolve around taking something from people that stimulates dopamine.
It does not get any more pathetic and loserish than that.

Starting tomorrow, I will be in Belize and Cancun for the month of January. The Devil's dandruff is not really my thing but I will keep an eye out for floating packages.
