A snorkeler came across a huge stash of cocaine worth around £1.2million inside a bin bag while out swimming. Twenty-five bricks of the Class A drug were found stuffed inside the floating bale off the Florida Keys on Wednesday afternoon, police have said. Agent Martin also posted a photo of the cocaine bricks, wrapped in red plastic, piled into five columns. The Florida Keys Sheriff's Twitter account posted another snap of some of the bricks still inside a black bin bag. In December, a fisherman happened across around 34kg of cocaine floating off Florida Keys, around 15 miles south of Sugarloaf Key, Monroe County Sheriff's Office said at the time.
