Indian River County deputies are trying to figure out who left $1 million worth of cocaine just lying around. On Saturday morning, eyewitnesses saw a suspicious looking burlap sack in Sebastian Inlet and called police. Inside the bag they found approximately 60-pounds of cocaine.

Deputies have not been able to link the sack to a suspect.

Authorities want the public to be aware that handling these types of products is not only against the law, but extremely dangerous. The Indian River County Sheriff's Office encourages anyone that comes across illegal drugs or unknown packages to contact the local law enforcement or the United States Coast Guard.
