Man finds kilo of cocaine on Daytona Beach, police say

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Some people find seashells at the beach.

Others might find shark teeth or spare change.

But in one case, police said a man found a kilo of cocaine during his morning run.

Daytona Beach police officers were called to the 2900 block of North the Beach on Tuesday for a report of found property.

A man told officers he was running by the water when he came across a black, square package with the word, “Porsche” written on the outside.

He said he thought the package might contain a type of car part, but when he unwrapped it, he saw a white substance and “smelled cocaine,” according to a report.

Police said the package was semi-covered by a rubber weatherproof material and cellophane wrapping.

The substance tested positive for cocaine, police said.

The man who found it cooperated with detectives and filled out a witness statement at the scene, police said.
