Police were called about 11:00 p.m. and by midnight, they said a total of 30 bundles of cocaine had been recovered. Another package washed up Tuesday afternoon.
Was there a boat chase and it was thrown overboard? Did a drug boat sink in a storm or just what did happen to cause more than 70 pounds of cocaine to wash up on Gulf Shores beaches? Police said they’ll likely never find out.
