On the East Frisian North Sea coast, a large amount of drugs has washed up again.
During clearing work in the dike foreland of Hilgenriedersiel (Aurich district), workers discovered a duffel bag with 25 kilograms of drugs on Thursday afternoon, as the police in Aurich announced on Friday.
So it is cocaine.
The drugs were seized.
Hage - The origin is unclear.
The police are now also checking whether there is a connection to an earlier find.
"It is investigated in all directions," said a police spokesman.
It was not until the end of August that a duffel bag was washed up not far from Hilgenriedersiel on the offshore island of Baltrum - 25 kilograms of cocaine had also been found in it.
At that time, walkers discovered the find and reported it to the police.
