KEY LARGO, Fla. — Florida officials got their hands on another finding of suspected cocaine Sunday in the Florida Keys.
In a Facebook post, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office shared a photo of 25 yellow bricks with a similar logo stamped on all of them.
A fisherman found the suspected drugs around 9:45 a.m. in a package offshore of north Key Largo, deputies say.
MCSO says the bricks were turned in to the U.S. Border Patrol.
The discovery comes after a few other instances of suspected cocaine discovered in Florida waters, including in the Keys, over the last week.
On Tuesday, Coast Guard crews announced they interdicted more than 7,300 pounds of cocaine in the international waters of the Caribbean Sea during three separate cases. The total worth was estimated to be around $96 million.
"The success of our joint efforts to save lives by reducing the availability of these harmful drugs is dependent on our cooperation with regional and international partners," Juan Ramirez, a Coast Guard staff attorney, said in a news release.
Officials say three suspected smugglers will face prosecution in federal courts for this incident.
On Wednesday, Monroe County deputies announced that a lobster diver offshore Tavernier found a brick of cocaine with a "Bunny" sticker plastered on it.
The package was also said to be turned in to U.S. Border Patrol.
