Police in Australia announced Wednesday that they were investigating beaches for suspicious shipments containing more than 120 kilograms of cocaine that washed up over the Christmas holiday.

“Since then, 85 other packages of a similar size have been discovered along around 80 kilometres (50 miles) of the New South Wales coastline”, police continued.
