In a few days, more than 2 tons of cocaine were discovered on the beaches of La Manche and Cotentin. The maritime prefecture asks you to contact the gendarmerie if you too find suspicious packages on a beach.
Bags attached to floats and life jackets, washed up on a Normandy beach, Wednesday 1er March. Three days before, about forty bales were discovered. In total, more than 2 tons of cocaine were found in less than a week. Was the ship carrying them shipwrecked? Were they thrown into the sea before a control operation? Several avenues are being explored.
The coasts are monitored
The merchandise failed in two stages. In Réville (Manche), Sunday February 26, 800 kg were found, then Wednesday 1er March, 1,234 kg washed up a few kilometers away. The investigation must determine if it is the same shipment, and find the country of origin of the cocaine. For the time being, no arrests have taken place, but the coasts are being watched. Thursday, March 2, two helicopters and a large device were deployed, to discourage the curious, interested in the goods. Given the large quantity of cocaine found, the Paris prosecutor’s office could take up the investigation in the coming days.
