50m of cocaine found on Norfolk beaches (BBC) [View all]

Cocaine with a street value of £50m has washed up on beaches in Norfolk.

About 360kg (793lbs) of the drug was found on Hopton beach, near Great Yarmouth and a beach near Caister, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said.

A member of the public contacted Norfolk Police having discovered a number of holdalls containing packages of cocaine on Hopton Beach.

The agency said the find would be a "major blow to the organised criminals involved."
