Florida Keys,
Fla. – A lot of blow blew onto a Florida beach Monday, thanks to Hurricane Debby.
The storm blew 25 packages, some 70 pounds, onto a beach in the Florida Keys, according to the U.S. Border Patrol.
Samuel Briggs II, the acting chief patrol agent of the U.S. Border Patrol - Miami Sector, posted on X that a Good Samaritan discovered the drugs and con- tacted authorities.
“U.S. Border Patrol seized the drugs, which have a street value of over $1 million,” Briggs posted.
Debby slammed into Florida as a Category 1 hurri- cane near the Big Bend before being downgrad- ed to a tropical storm.
Cocaine has been found many times on and near the shores of Florida.
CBS News report- ed that in June recreational boaters off the
coast of the Florida
Keys found 65 pounds of cocaine floating in the ocean.
Earlier that month, divers found 25 kilo- grams of cocaine about 100 feet underwater off Key West, CBS reported.
In May, a beach- goer found about $1 million worth of cocaine washed up along the Florida Keys, CBS News
Miami reported.
