Recovered cocaine bricks could have been bound for Australia 13 SHARES Share it! High ranking anti-narcotics officials said that the cocaine bricks that were recovered were not intended for the Philippines since cocaine is too expensive for Filipino users. Both the Philippine and Australian authorities believe that the cocaine bricks that were recovered in the past few weeks in Luzon and Mindanao are connected to the 500 kilos of cocaine bricks that were recovered in Papua New Guinea last year. All the cocaine bricks were recovered at the eastern seaboard of the Philippines. The laboratory test will either prove or refute theories that the floating cocaine bricks are diversionary tactics for the entry of much bigger haul of shabu.
