Cocaine with an estimated street value of £50m has washed up on two Norfolk beaches.
A number of bags with cocaine worth over €70 were found by a member of the public on Hopton Beach near Great Yarmouth yesterday evening.
Police arrived at the scene and further bags of cocaine near Caister-on-Sea this morning with the total find weighing over 360kg.
Matthew Rivers, from the National Crime Agency’s border investigation team, said: “We are now working with Border Force, the Coastguard Agency and Norfolk Police to try and establish how the bags ended up where they did.
“However, it is extremely unlikely that this was their intended destination.”
“This is obviously a substantial seizure of class A drugs, and its loss will represent a major blow to the organised criminals involved.”
