Divers in Poland discovered more than 220 pounds of cocaine on the bottom of the Baltic Sea, the nation’s border guard said on Tuesday, marking the latest unusual location that drugs have been found in Europe.
Officers with the Border Guard Maritime Unit located the cocaine on the seabed in the Gulf of Gdansk in northern Poland, officials said in a news release. Seven people were detained and the border guard said it had “dismantled an organized crime group involved in smuggling significant amounts of drugs.”
Authorities released several images of the operation and said the seized drugs had an estimated street value of $15 million. A video released by the border guard shows divers finding the alleged drugs on the seabed as well footage of armed officers making multiple arrests at various locations.
