 Million Dollars Worth Of Cupra Cocaine Washes Ashore In Florida

  • 25 packages of cocaine, featuring Cupra’s logo, have washed ashore in Florida.
  • The 70 lbs of coke had a street value in excess of $1 million.
  • The drugs were found by a Good Samaritan, who alerted authorities.

Earlier this year, Cupra announced plans to enter the U.S. market by the end of the decade. The company will offer two EVs in “selected states” on the East and West coasts as well as in the Sun Belt.

While the exact timing remains to be seen, Cupra has already made its presence known in Florida. However, this is no Formentor EV as we’re talking about 25 packages of cocaine that washed ashore with Cupra’s logo.

According to Samuel Briggs II, Acting Chief Patrol Agent of the U.S. Border Patrol – Miami Sector, the packages were blown onto a beach in the Florida Keys by Hurricane Debby. A Good Samaritan discovered the 70 lbs (31.8 kg) of coke and contacted authorities. The U.S. Border Patrol eventually seized the drugs, which had a street value of over $1 million (£787,600 / €915,610).

It’s not immediately clear where the nose candy came from, but it’s safe to say it wasn’t made in Martorell. However, it’s far more likely to get the heart racing than a 148 hp (110 kW / 150 PS) Cupra Ateca.

While it’s interesting to note the cocaine has Cupra logos, it’s not uncommon for drugs to sport familiar names or knockoffs. In particular, the Federal Trade Commission has previously called out Stoney Patch [Kids], Double Stuf Stoneo, and Medicated Jolly Rancher Gummies for “selling THC products copying the look of snacks popular with children.”
