A weekend stroll on the beach at the Dutch seaside resort of Kijkduin led to the discovery of the first of a series of packages of cocaine on Saturday, Dutch public broadcaster NOS reports.
The person who found the first package took it to the authorities, sparking a shoreline search by police. Similar packages were later found at four other locations along the North Sea coastline of the Dutch province of South Holland, including one weighing almost 2.5 kilograms, washed ashore on the beach at Scheveningen, The Hague. Other packets were found on the beaches at Westland and Wassenaar.
Equipment used to cut cocaine was also found in the packets, which The Hague police believe may have become detached from the underside of a boat. This method of concealment – below the waterline - is often used by smugglers to avoid detection by customs officials.
