Damn they found 24 22 kilos?

20 kilos, eh?

We better report this 18kg to the authorities!

Well, we did suspect there were packages of cocaine here. But turns out there wasn't any!

“If these cocaine bales are a point source of pollution, it’s very plausible [sharks] can be affected by this chemical. Cocaine is so soluble that any of those packages open just a little, the structural integrity is destroyed and the drug is in the water,” Tracy Fanara, a Florida-based environmental engineer toldthe Guardian last year.

Blaming the sharks too smh

Looking forward to summer blockbuster hit Cocaine Shark.
