Authorities in Brevard County are investigating the discovery of a significant quantity of cocaine, estimated at 25 kilograms, found along the coastline near Jetty Park in Cape Canaveral. The narcotics, valued at approximately $1.7 million, were recovered by a fisherman and later reported to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office.
The cocaine, contained in a watertight package marked with branding commonly associated with drug trafficking organizations, is suspected to have fallen into the water during transport. Investigators believe the drugs were likely part of a maritime smuggling operation.
The U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed involvement in the case after recovering a barrel containing the cocaine at Jetty Park, suggesting it may have washed ashore due to ocean currents. This incident has prompted a joint investigation by the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office and the Coast Guard to identify the origins of the shipment and any potential criminal networks involved.
