Satellite Beach police are asking beachgoers to report any suspicious packages found along the shore following the weekend discovery of a brick of marijuana near Hightower Beach Park.

“Just report it, leave it alone and call the police,” said Cmdr. Jeff Pearson of the Satellite Beach Police Department.

Officers were called to Hightower Beach Park about 5 p.m. Sunday after a brick of marijuana bound in black plastic washed ashore.

Police say illegal drugs washing up on the beach happens occasionally as smugglers dump their illicit cargo into the Atlantic Ocean to escape detection from authorities.

“It’s pretty common. We live on the beach in Florida and it happens,” Pearson said.

As for Sunday’s brick of marijuana, “it could have been floating in the ocean for 10 years,” Pearson said.

Anyone with information on the find can call police at 773-4400.

Based on the movies I've seen, when you find a huge bag of drugs and or cash, it is a good idea, to leave it and get the hell away.

As if anybody would report that! hahahaha.

That's either one huge year long sesh or a lot of money

How lucky would you feel if you found a big container of drugs wahsed up on the beach! Thats a lot of highs or a boatload of cash, either way I don't think you'd stop grinning for a year.

The beach is a great place to have a party. Even better with free drugs.

We've had a few stories about drugs washing up on beaches. I specifically recall one where washed up cocaine packages drove the local economy. I forget exactly where that was though...

One step ahead I have been an avid beachgoer for most of my life.

I have also been on the lookout for pot for the last 20 years or so.......

I recall that as well, I'm fairly sure it was an Island off the coast of Panama. Drug runners had thrown bricks of coke off boats to escape the feds and they just washed ashore.

What a life, living it up on some beach in panama with a few KG of cocaine
