Boat carrying $4.3M worth of weed washes up on San Diego coast
2019-09-12
[NYPOST] A small boat carrying $4.3 million worth of marijuana washed ashore on the coast of San Diego last weekend, according to a report.

The motorboat with more than 1,000 pounds of reefer ended up on a beach between Carlsbad and Oceanside about 6:30 a.m. Sunday, the Oceanside Police Department told NBC 7.
$4300/lb at wholesale? Not likely
Witnesses on the beach said they saw two people flee the boat and run south along the shoreline after the vessel crashed onto the sand, the report said.

As of Tuesday, no arrests have been made.

"I was really surprised to see a drug smuggling boat here in Carlsbad," Zachary Boyer, who witnessed authorities unload the drugs, told the cable network.

"I noticed a few cops around," Boyer said. "Then when they started unloading the bundles of marijuana, we knew it was something different."

"They were throwing bundle after bundle of marijuana off the boat."

And the bodies will never be found. The folks in the shipping department demand payment, whether you deliver or not.
