More than $1 million (£782,000) worth of cocaine washed up on a beach in the Florida Keys during recent Storm Debby.
The US Border Patrol said a “good Samaritan” found the packages containing 79 pounds (32 kg) of drugs and contacted authorities.
The Border Patrol has not revealed the exact location of the package, but shared photos of the packages taped together, with a red triangle on the label.
The person who found the package, a swimmer, discovered it wrapped inside a garbage bag among seaweed, leaves and other debris.
Storm Debby made landfall in the United States as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday morning, with winds exceeding 80 miles per hour.
It has since been downgraded to a tropical storm and looks set to bring rain and flooding as it moves north into Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Drugs frequently wash up on South Florida beaches and surrounding waters when smugglers traffic the substances from South America to the United States.
