PARADISE BEACH, FLORIDA — Hurricane Dorian sent wind and rains to the Florida coast, but the storm also washed something else ashore.
A Melbourne police officer was on patrol near Paradise Beach Park on Tuesday when he was approached by a concerned citizen.
The person directed him to a suspicious package on the sand, which contained a kilogram of cocaine.
The narcotics division is investigating where the drugs may have come from. The package will be destroyed, officials said.
NBC News reported that, in Cocoa Beach, police located a duffel bag that had washed ashore and found 15 bricks of cocaine inside.
