Police are monitoring the mid Wales coastline after a second bundle of drugs washed ashore in the region.

A "significant quantity" of cocaine was found off Aberystwyth over the weekend, and Dyfed Powys Police have now confirmed that a second bundle was also washed ashore.

Reports in the national press have put the overall street value of the first load at about £90 million.

There were also reports of a police rib in the sea off Borth over the weekend, but the locations that the two batches came to shore have not been confirmed. It is thought the first batch was at Tan-y-Bwlch with the substance washing up on the shore in black bags.

In a statement on social media, the force said: "Following this weekend’s recovery of class A drugs, found at two sites along the Ceredigion coast after storms, officers are monitoring the water ahead of further adverse weather.

"This is a precautionary measure in the event there may be further packages still at sea.

"Officers are stressing the importance of notifying police immediately if you find a package, or know of anyone who has. The contents shouldn’t be touched, and partner agencies have been briefed this morning of the risks associated with the possession of this find.

"Work is ongoing to establish how the bundles came to land ashore here and who they may belong to."

Following the first find, the force had said: "We’re investigating the discovery of a significant quantity of what is thought to be cocaine, spotted along the Ceredigion coast this weekend.

"Enquiries are being undertaken to establish how such an unusually large amount of the controlled drug came to wash up on the Welsh shore, following recent storms.

"The precise quantity is still being established, and at this time no one has been arrested in relation to this matter.

"Officers have thanked those who found the packages and their sensible actions in reporting the matter immediately."
