Cocaine keeps washing up on NSW beaches

 

An increasing amount of cocaine is being found washed up on New South Wales beaches, including Freshwater and North Curl Curl in Sydney.  

More than 250 kg of the class-A drug has been found on beaches since December as soaring Australian demand and top prices, drives the illegal trade.

Any container on a cargo ship with a hollow cavity such as those carrying fruit or furniture, can also fit wrapped cocaine inside and there is no way anyone would know.

And it's not unusual for containers to fall overboard in transit and loose cocaine is then carried by ocean current to shore.
