Police have confirmed that a “significant quantity” of class A drugs have washed ashore on a Welsh beach this weekend. A man walking along Tan-y-Bwlch beach in Ceredigion made the discovery on Saturday morning.
He said he noticed around 30 black bags of something on the sand, all tied together with rope. After police were called, one of the bags was cut open to reveal what appeared to be cocaine. The huge haul was then taken away by officers, and it has now been confirmed that the white powder inside the bags is believed to be cocaine.
