Waves stirred up by Hurricane Dorian brought an unexpected delivery to the shores of Florida, over the weekend.

Cocoa Beach police are asking beachcombers in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian to be cautious about suspicious packages after a duffle bag stuffed with 15 kilos of cocaine washed ashore over the weekend.

The find — worth at least $300,000 — came before Dorian’s violent stirrings in the Atlantic led to a single brick of cocaine being found along a beach in Melbourne on Tuesday.

“There is a possibility that more will come onshore. Especially now with these conditions. It could be coming from anywhere,” said Manny Hernandez, spokesman for the Cocoa Beach Police Department.

“We’re telling people to be cautious and not to grab or handle it because if there is an opening, it can go into your pores and you can overdose,” he said.

The duffle bag packed with the carefully wrapped bricks of powdered cocaine were found along the surf by a beachgoer about 5:30 p.m. Friday near the Sixth Street beach entrance.

The beachgoer called the police to tell them about the suspicious package.

“By the time it was weighed and done, it was a lot. There were 15 bricks,” Hernandez said.

Cocoa Beach officers then contacted federal customs agents who took custody of the packages.

It is not unusual to find items like an occasional brick of cocaine or a bale of marijuana — called square groupers — bobbing in the waters off Florida or caught in the tides, even following a storm. In recent years, Brevard's coast has seen unintended spills from cargo ships and other vessels that have dotted the beach with everything from cans of coffee to other items. The rough surf, coupled with the Gulf Stream that hugs Florida's coast, can bring even more trash or treasure, observers say.

But for Hernandez, the duffle bag was one of the largest amounts of the drug he had seen recovered in recent memory. “I think this is the largest find we’ve had in a while,” he added.

Tuesday, Melbourne police said a beachgoer found a lone, heavily-wrapped brick of the narcotic.

The beachgoer was taking in the sights of the rough surf about 8:07 a.m. Tuesday at Paradise Beach Park when they spotted what appeared to be a wrapped package that washed up, labeled "dinamitar" or "dynamite" in Spanish. It was a kilo of cocaine, Melbourne police say.

“An officer was on patrol when someone said that they saw something suspicious,” said Cheryl Mall, spokeswoman for the city of Melbourne.

Melbourne police were called to the site and retrieved the item. Police said there were reports of other bricks of cocaine possibly washing ashore in northern Brevard.

The brick that washed up in the waves at Paradise Beach was sealed. Police did not place a value on the item but added that the item – typically worth thousands of dollars on the street – would be destroyed.

Residents are urged to alert authorities about any suspicious finds on the beach.
