What was that floating in the ocean? Florida Keys boater reports discovery to police
A boater found 16 bricks of cocaine floating in the ocean off the Florida Keys, according to the U.S. Border Patrol.
The bricks weighed about 41 pounds and have a street value of roughly $640,000, Walter Slosar, chief patrol agent for the Border Patrol’s Miami operations, said in a statement on Twitter.
The contraband was found Tuesday off the Upper Keys Village of Islamorada, Slosar said, and the boater reported the find to local authorities before Border Patrol agents took possession of the load.
