Since Tuesday afternoon (October 6), almost 300 packages of cocaine have washed ashore on the beach near the Dutch coastal town of Borssele, prompting many people to visit the beach looking for more, according to local police.

The beach and the surrounding area have since been cordoned off. Nonetheless, people continue to arrive in search of more packages.

This morning, police arrested several of them.

“Last Tuesday, nearly 300 packages containing cocaine washed ashore on the Kaloot Beach in Borssele,” the local police in Walcheren wrote on their Facebook page this morning.

“For us as the police, this naturally resulted in some extra work at first, but the aftermath has also kept us busy.”

“People from all over the Netherlands are coming here to try their luck on the beach, because yes, perhaps even more packages will wash up,” they wrote.

Several people were fined or arrested for trespassing on the nearby dunes, and one for not having a valid ID card.

What a coincidence! I'd been planning a quick weekend getaway to the lovely seaside resort of Borssele...
 
Is this area known for sea-based drug smuggling?
A few days ago, a boat washed up on a beach 22 miles from me that was determined to be a drug smuggling boat. It was emptied of drugs, however. This occurs somewhat frequently.
The moxie of these ocean-based drug smugglers is astounding. When the boats or subs are intercepted they have an amazing quantity of whatever they’re smuggling.

It's the estuary to Antwerp, so yeah, it probably has one of the highest concentrations of drug smuggling anywhere on earth.
