Turtle Nesting Survey in Florida Turns Up $1.2M Worth of Cocaine

A Florida wildlife manager last month discovered dozens of packages that turned out to be about $1.2 million worth of cocaine along the beach near Cape Canaveral Space Station while conducting a survey about turtle nesting, NBC News reports.

Angy Chambers, wildlife manager and civil engineer with the 45th Civil Engineer Squadron, found 24 packages, which were later identified as containing cocaine, on the beach on May 19. The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office estimated the value of the packages at $1.2 million.
