Police have confirmed that drugs that washed up on a Welsh beach was a haul of cocaine worth £42m. Packages of what had been suspected to be drugs were found at two sites near Aberystwyth at the start of this month.
Thirty black bags were found washed up at Tan-y-Bwlch beach by a walker on Saturday, October 1.
The man said the bags were all tied together with rope, interspersed with plastic jugs, presumably to keep the bags afloat. Police later confirmed that the bags were all thought to contain cocaine, and that they consisted of an “unusually large amount”.
