Welsh beach walker believes he just found a huge haul of 'pure cocaine' washed up in 30 black bags

A man walking on a Welsh beach made a potentially incredible discovery as he strolled across the sand when he came across around 30 washed up black bags that he believes contained many kilos of cocaine. The man, who does not wish to be named, was taking a walk along Tan-y-Bwlch beach to the south of Aberystwyth in Ceredigion on Saturday morning.

He said he saw something on the sand but at first could not tell what it was. As he got closer, he found around 30 black bags all tied together with rope, interspersed with empty plastic jugs, seemingly to keep the cargo afloat in the water.

Police were called to the beach and the walker said he saw what looked like a white powder inside one of the bags when it was cut open. The bags, he suspects, were full of packages of cocaine. You can get the latest WalesOnline newsletters e-mailed to you directly for free by signing up here.
