more than 2 tonnes of cocaine found on the Channel coast

Bags attached to floats and life jackets, washed up on a Normandy beach, Wednesday 1^er 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 1^er 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.
