10 FEBRUARY 2017 • 2:05PMPolice are investigating after £50 million worth of coca1ne was washed up on two Norfolk beaches.
Hundreds of kilograms of the drug, were discovered on Thursday afternoon by a member of the public in a number of holdalls on Hopton Beach near Great Yarmouth.
Experts from the National Crime Agency were called in to investigate and just hours later a further number of small packages were discovered at a location near Caister.
The total amount of suspected coca1ne seized is estimated to be around 360 kilos, which if cut and sold on the streets could have had a potential value of upwards of £50 million.
It is not yet clear how the drug came to be in the water but one theory is that it was thrown overboard by smugglers either for others to collect or because they feared they were to be challenged by officials.
The 360 kilos is thought to have a street value of £50 millionCREDIT: NCA Matthew Rivers, from the NCA’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.”
Superintendent Dave Buckley, from Norfolk Constabulary, added: “We are assisting the National Crime Agency with their searches and whilst we believe we have recovered all the packages, should any member of the public find one they are urged to contact Norfolk Constabulary immediately on 101. We will have extra officers in the area to monitor the situation.”
