Divers in Key West, Florida, have discovered more than a dozen packages of suspected cocaine in the Atlantic Ocean.
On Wednesday, the sheriff’s office in Monroe county announced the discovery, saying that divers found 25kg of individually wrapped packages of suspected cocaine that were located approximately 100ft underwater.
“The sheriffs responded to the Rainbow Reef Dive Center in Key Largo at approximately 12.25pm where divers stated they were removing what they thought was trash when the discovery was made,” the sheriff’s office said.
A photo posted on Facebook showed a ripped black garbage bag next to the gray packages of suspected cocaine. Each of the packages was wrapped in clear plastic and marked with a blue “Nike SB” sign and the Nike swoosh logo.
