Brevard Sheriff Seeks Owner of 18 Kilos of Cocaine Found in Intracoastal Waterway

The Brevard County Sheriff's Office is looking for the 'rightful owner' of 18 kilograms of cocaine discovered floating in the Intracoastal Waterway. The illicit haul, with an estimated street value exceeding $230,000, was found yesterday.

Authorities believe the large quantity of narcotics inadvertently fell off the back of someone's boat. The discovery prompted a public appeal from the Brevard County Sheriff, who humorously suggested the owner contact them to reclaim their 'lost' property.

The investigation into the origin of the cocaine is underway. Law enforcement officials are working to determine how the package ended up in the waterway and who might be responsible for its transport.

While the Sheriff's public statement carried a lighthearted tone, the incident underscores the ongoing challenges local law enforcement faces in combating drug trafficking within Brevard County. Residents should remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to authorities.
