Ton Of Cocaine Washes Ashore In Portugal And Spain

More than a ton of cocaine has washed ashore in Portugal and northwestern Spain, press reports said Wednesday.

The drug was divided into watertight packages of 25 kilos, which were discovered on the Iberian coast Monday and Tuesday.

Portuguese police said drug traffickers may have thrown their cargo into the sea on being approached by a police vessel.

Spanish police said the drug may have been hidden in the water to be picked up. The net containing the cargo then ripped, allowing the packages to rise to the surface, police sources suggested.
