Australian police announced on Wednesday that they are conducting searches along beaches after mysterious packages, suspected to contain more than 120 kilograms (260 pounds) of cocaine, washed up over the Christmas period.
The initial discovery comprised 39 barnacle-encrusted, one-kilogram bricks of suspected cocaine found on Friday near Magenta Beach, north of Sydney.
Subsequently, an additional 85 packages of the same size have been located along approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles) of the New South Wales coastline, according to state police.
