$1 million worth of cocaine found by boaters off the Florida Keys

While out on an afternoon stroll, recreational boaters stumbled upon $1 million worth of cocaine floating in the ocean off the Florida Keys.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office shared that “mariners in a private vessel found a package containing approximately 21 individually wrapped kilograms of suspected cocaine.”

The discovery was shared on social media by Samuel Briggs II, the acting chief patrol agent of the U.S. Border Patrol. Briggs showed the big catch in a video with the wrapped packages of the drug being wheeled away on a cart.

“We appreciate the support from Good Samaritans in our community,” Briggs wrote.

The drugs were found about seven miles off Islamorada, Florida, on Saturday, the sheriff’s office noted.

The packages were saran wrapped with a picture of a bald eagle roaring on them, the photo from the sheriff’s office showed.
