“Eagle helicopter will be in the area today conducting a search of the wider area and we will be sending regular patrols in the coming days to continue to check for further washed up items,” Detective Inspector Colin Parmenter of Waitematä police said in a statement.
He urged people to immediately contact the New Zealand Police in case more packages turn up on the beach or anywhere in the vicinity.
The package contents tested positive for cocaine and the police are still investigating where these drugs came from.
