WALES, UK- Police in Wales in the United Kingdom (UK) are investigating how bags of cocaine, with a reported street value of up to £90 million, washed up on a beach on Saturday, October 1, 2022.

According to Dyfed-Powys Police, around 30 bags of the class A drug were found by a dog walker on a beach south of Aberystwyth, tied to makeshift buoys.

No arrests made

According to POWYS County Times on October 2, 2022, a police spokesman said that investigations into how the drugs came to the beach were ongoing and no arrests were made.

They added: "Dyfed-Powys Police is investigating the discovery of a significant quantity of what is thought to be cocaine, spotted along the Ceredigion coast this weekend.

“Enquiries are being undertaken to establish how such an unusually large amount of the controlled drug came to wash up on the Welsh shore, following recent storms.

“The precise quantity is still being established and at this time no one has been arrested in relation to this matter.”

Small plane seen circling

According to more reports, residents also saw a small plane circling the bay while officers headed to the scene.

The dog walker, a man in his 30s, told the The Mail on Sunday, that police removed the drugs immediately.

The Mail added that if the packages were full of cocaine, then the expected haul is worth around £90 million.

      Wonder if it's from that Cargo boat load that was too large an amount to be destroyed in the BVI and was sent elsewhere.

    I'm surprised they reported this. Thought they might have kept it to themselves and split it amongst them.

      Most people in the UK are law abiding. Others know that having anything to do with bulk quantities of cocaine is likely to bring bad news either from the cartel or law enforcement. Where it was found is a small community. It ain’t a dime bag of weed that fell out of someone’s pocket in a bar.

      Hey just saying, if you go outside on almost any day of the year in the BVIs, you’d observed that the prevailing wind direction is from between NE and SE, meaning anything set adrift from Cooper is more likely to end up in US VI, PR and beyond. BVIs to Wales is not downwind, though I’ll grant you that something released from Cooper could end up in the past the Bahama to the Gulf Stream and all the way across the North Atlantic. It would take months, packages would be very scatterd so would not land in one specific location, and they,d would be encrusted with seaweed, barnacles and such, assuming they did not sink. I’d say that is about as likely as you or I going out today and buying a lottery ticket that wins the grand prize.

    So how has this made news? Cocaine worth millionions of dollars have been washing up on beaches and planes have been seen circling and no arrest were make in cases around the world even in our territory. What is the point? Just to say the UK corrupt ?

    If I came across a bag stuffed with a large amount of US currency on a beach which apparenty has drifted ashore with no identity on the package, what am I obligated to do
    with it legally?

    Isn't that the force that the current BVI Commissioner came from?
