(CNN) Over the course of the last week, packages containing suspected cocaine have washed up onto the beaches of Matagorda County, Texas, authorities said. "Please keep in mind that if you ever find a suspicious package on the beach, do not touch or pick up the packages. Packages could be anything from Marijuana to Fentanyl," Lt. Philip Hester with the Matagorda County Sheriff's Office Narcotics Division said Tuesday. Beachgoers have been asked to notify the Matagorda County Sheriff's Office immediately if a suspicious package is found. The lieutenant also reminds residents that if a person picks up a beached parcel of suspected cocaine and doesn't turn it in, they could be charged with possession.
