Gardaí are investigating after a number of packages containing suspected cocaine washed up on the north Donegal coastline.

They were alerted to a package on Ballyhiernan Beach in Fanad at 8.30am this morning, with another package later reported at Tramore Beach in Dunfanaghy.

Landowners and members of the public in the Fanad Head area are being asked to stay alert to similar packages or any debris that may wash up in the coming days.
