Resident finds cocaine on Little Cayman beach

(CNS): An undisclosed amount of cocaine was washed ashore on Little Cayman this weekend and found by a resident of the island. Police said that around 8:30am on Monday 18 May, uniformed officers in Little Cayman were contacted by a resident about a suspicious package on the beach of Point of Sands. Police said that after they inspected the package, officers found it contained individually-wrapped packets of what is believed to be cocaine.

The package has been transferred to Grand Cayman for destruction, a spokesperson for the RCIPS stated.

Police did not reveal the number of packages or the weight of the haul in this case, but in April a couple walking in East End stumbled across some $350,000 worth of the drug in a garbage bag that contained 23 compressed packages. Less than two weeks later, fishermen at 12 Mile Banks also came across a similar package in the ocean containing another 23 individual packages of cocaine.
