After a suspicious package was found in Baldwin County containing cocaine Thursday, the sheriff is warning the public to not open unverified bundles or packages they may come across.

According to the Baldwin County Sheriff‘s Office, the agency was notified that a potential bundle of drugs washed ashore on the Fort Morgan Peninsula.

The package was determined to contain illegal drugs and after investigating further, the agency found that 50 individually wrapped kilos of cocaine were inside the bundle.

The bundle weighed approximately 110 pounds.

“It is not uncommon for additional bundles of illicit contraband to surface, and Sheriff [Anthony] Lowery asks the community to report any bundles immediately to local law enforcement,” the sheriff’s office said.

“We ask the public not to open bundles or packages, as they could contain hazardous chemicals or dangerous drugs.”

The incident is being investigated by the Department of Homeland Security.
