Brick of Cocaine Washed Ashore on Popular Texas Seashore

We’ve all heard of drugs being washed up on a beach somewhere due to a drug smuggling operation gone wrong, well, that’s exactly what seems to have happened last week in Texas. 

It was the US Border Patrol Rio Grande Valley Sector who took to social media last week to celebrate the brick of cocaine they discovered at North Padre Island National Seashore. 

How Was the Brick of Cocaine Found? 

It might seem too easy, but Corpus Christi Border Patrol agents were on patrol and found what looked like to be an interesting package that had just washed up on the beach. After further inspection, it was their lucky day because it was confirmed to be a brick of cocaine. 

How Much Was That Cocaine Worth? 

Because most people have no idea the value of a brick of cocaine, it was interesting to find out from law enforcement just the one brick they found in the sand is worth over $82,000. I have a feeling there are drug dealers not happy about losing this large amount of drugs.

As you would expect, there is no one that has reached out to law enforcement to claim the drugs. And it was funny to see that law enforcement officers took to social media and even posted that this drug seizure was “Too Easy”. 

Obviously, it is very dangerous work keeping drugs off the streets here in Texas. A huge thank you to all law enforcement officers who work to keep cocaine out of Texas.
