Police in Florida said over a dozen bricks of cocaine washed up on at least two beaches, as Hurrican Dorian waves pushed debris ashore.

A spokesperson for the Melbourne Police Department told USA Today that a beachgoer spotted something suspicious onshore at Paradise Beach Park at around 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3 and then alerted a nearby officer.
