A stash of marijuana worth $4million has been found lying on a beach next to an abandoned boat in California, police revealed today.
Santa Barbara County officials made the discovery yesterday at Arroyo Camada Beach, around five miles from Santa Barbara.
Officials said they found an estimated 2,000lbs of marijuana wrapped in plastic bags.
Santa Barbara County sheriff's officials said they 'located an apparently abandoned 30ft "Panga" style boat with two outboard engines and 20 plus fuel containers on board'.
The department added: 'Sheriff’s detectives located a significant amount of evidence that was consistent with marijuana smuggling activities, including trash and debris that was strewn about the beach and nearby coastal access trails.'
Officials are now testing the drugs and other evidence found at the scene.
This is the second big pot discovery this month in Santa Barbara County, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Earlier this month, marijuana with an estimated value of at least $1million was discovered near a boat that had crashed on a beach near Vandenberg Air Force Base, around 60 miles away.
The marijuana was found near an overturned boat north of Wall Beach and was removed by Homeland Security investigators.
