		</div><p>Italian police have scooped up two tons of cocaine, found wrapped in protective plastic and floating in the sea off eastern Sicily.</p>
<p>The “catch” had an estimated street value of about 400 million euros (£354 million), authorities said on Monday.</p>
<p>The packages of cocaine were strung together with netting, police said in a statement.</p>
<p>There was just enough plastic wrapping to stop the drugs getting wet without weighing them down and potentially causing them to sink.</p>
<p>Investigators speculated that a cargo ship had left the haul in the sea for another vessel to pick up and take to land.</p>
<p>Police aircraft flew over the area as a precaution in case any packages had become separated from the netting.</p>
<p>In all, officers scooped up more than 1,600 packets of cocaine held in 70 bobbing bundles, the statement said.</p>
