This week in South Florida, scuba divers found more than twenty bricks of cocaine with Nike SB logos on them.
According to reports, divers exploring the waters off Key West, Florida discovered over two dozen individually wrapped packages of suspected cocaine.
The packages, each weighing a kilogram, were found about 100 feet underwater in the Atlantic Ocean and were marked with the Nike SB logo. After the discovery, the stash was turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol.
This incident comes just a month after a beachgoer found around $1 million worth of cocaine washed up along the Florida Keys.
It's known that drug traffickers transport cocaine through international waters using a variety of vessels, and sometimes the packages are marked with distinctive designs.
