ORMOND BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Volusia County authorities are trying to find out how medical waste washed ashore.

Hypodermic needles and medicine bottles washed up on Harbor Beach near Ormond Beach over the weekend. The items were scattered over a mile long and found by a beach goer.

Beach patrol officers cleaned up the debris by Saturday morning. No one was injured.

Authorities say high winds washed items ashore.

These types of medical supplies are absolutely 'TRACEABLE'...If they are not from accidents like the horrific tsunami's, earthquakes, etcs that have happened around the world, then SOMEONE is dumping them there not caring if they kill of the rest of our ocean life.... AND THEY SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED.
