Packages of suspected cocaine discovered on two Donegal beaches

Gardai are investigating the discovery of multiple packages of drugs along the north Donegal coastline on Wednesday morning.

The packages are suspected to contain cocaine and will be analysed by Forensic Science Ireland (FSI).

At approximately 8.30am, Milford gardai were alerted to the discovery of a package at Ballyhiernan Beach in Fanad, Co Donegal.

Half an hour later, gardai were altered by the public to another similar package at Tramore Beach.

Both packages were recovered and the crime scenes were examined.

The ongoing investigation based from Milford Garda Station involves the air-support water units.

An Garda Siochana in Milford are appealing to landowners in the Fanad Head area with coastal land and any other people using the north Donegal coastline over the coming days to be conscious of the packages that have been recovered today.

Anyone who sees any similar package or any other marine debris that attracts their attention should contact gardai.
