The French coastline received no less than 150 million euros worth of cocaine, in two parts.
Last weekend, the French Channel coastline, more precisely on the beach of Réville, received no less than 850 kg of hermetically sealed bales.
A few days later, in the middle of this week, Vicq-sur-Mer, also located in the west of France, received a ton and a half of cocaine, also well wrapped in bags.
In total, 2.3 tons of cocaine washed up on the French coastline, which is obviously a record harvest by the authorities there.
❌ Depuis le week-end dernier, c’est une véritable marrée blanche qui déferle sur les côtes de Normandie. Plus de 2 tonnes de cocaïne, pour un montant estimé à 150 millions d’euros, ont été retrouvés.#ApollineMatin pic.twitter.com/f3qzUUt4ks

For the moment, the origin of all this white powder is not known, but according to a source who manages the file, this cocaine can have been thrown in order to avoid a control. It may also have simply fallen off a ship.
The investigation is still ongoing and the individuals in charge of the case are still trying to trace the path of the bags by flying over the sea and with the help of maritime patrols.
After all, 2.3 tons of cocaine is as heavy as a great white shark or a little more than a giraffe, which is not trivial.
