It was late morning last Thursday, the tide was going out and it's the only time you could get on to Hopton beach.

Dog walker Valerie McGee decided to make the most of the opportunity and take Rudey for a walk on the sand.

It was then, she told me, that she saw what looked like "about 10 sports bags, roped together, with plastic containers that looked like floats".

"The dog went to have a closer look and I had a look... they looked a bit odd for something to find on the beach. It crossed my mind they looked a bit suspicious but I'm no expert.

"I didn't look as I didn't want to uncover anything unsavoury... I left that to the experts.

"Things do wash up, bits and pieces of flotsam and jetsam particularly when the wind is in the east... usually dead seals... 

"I think they came adrift because of the winds and tides.

"The bags were all intact, everything seemed sealed up.

"Over the weekend all and sundry came down to look, and they still are."  

The rest of the day will remain dry, with a few sunny spells.

Feeling chilly in the wind, with a maximum temperature of 5C (41F).

Paul Martin is the chief executive of the Norwich-based charity, The Matthew Project, external, which provides help for people with drug and alcohol-related issues.

He says the effects of cocaine are unpredictable.

"It makes your heart race, it potentially makes you quite euphoric, giving an immediate and very quick high and you might act in a way you wouldn't before, taking unhealthy risks... longer term it can cause paranoia and major health problems".

A lot of people who use cocaine use it quite infrequently he adds, and a quarter of heart attacks below the age of 45 are caused by the drug.

Investigations continue into how 360kg (793lbs) of cocaine washed up on the east coast of Norfolk last week.

A member of the public stumbled across the holdalls packed with the class A drug at Hopton-on-Sea near Gorleston on Thursday. The following day more packages were found at Caister.

Brandon Lewis, policing minister and MP for Great Yarmouth, said it was likely to be an handover that went wrong out at sea.

"We believe it was not intended for Norfolk... it looks like something was due to happen out at sea, it failed and washed up in Norfolk."
