By John Bowden - 09/04/19 12:57 PM EDT
Police in Florida said this week that cocaine has been washing ashore as a result of Hurricane Dorian.
USA Today reported that the spokeswoman for Melbourne, Fla., said that beachgoers initially thought a package of roughly one kilogram of cocaine found on a city beach was dynamite, because it was labeled in Spanish.
“An officer was on patrol when someone said that they saw something suspicious,†spokeswoman Cheryl Mall said.
City police confirmed that other bricks of cocaine have been spotted on nearby beaches amid the storm, according to USA Today.
