Packages of cocaine wash up on Texas beach after ship is raided, officials say

On Easter Sunday, Texas police discovered multiple packages of cocaine on the shores of Jamaica Beach, a small city on the Gulf of Mexico, after an apparent offshore raid led the crew to dump the drugs overboard. Local officials did not disclose the amount or value of the cocaine but reported that anyone spotting additional packages should contact the police. This incident adds to a pattern of illicit drugs washing ashore in U.S. coastal areas, with previous occurrences noted in the Florida Keys and Alabama, often linked to Colombian trafficking methods.
