Police in Wales have been left surprised after a large amount of what is thought to be cocaine was found washed up on a beach in Wales.

A spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys Police said:

“We’re investigating the discovery of a significant quantity of what is thought to be cocaine, spotted along the Ceredigion coast this weekend.

“Enquiries are being undertaken to establish how such an unusually large amount of the controlled drug came to wash up on the Welsh shore, following recent storms.

“The precise quantity is still being established, and at this time no one has been arrested in relation to this matter.

“Officers have thanked those who found the packages and their sensible actions in reporting the matter immediately.”
