Dead Sharks Keep Popping Up in St. Augustine

Authorities are baffled by dead sharks that keep popping up around St. Augustine. 

Last week, a 5-foot-long shark was found dead in the parking lot of a northeast Florida Walmart. Days later, another dead shark was found in the same neighborhood. 

St. Johns County Sheriff's deputies were called to the store parking lot after the shark was found in a shopping cart. Authorities spoke to an RV owner parked nearby and learned that the he had woken to find the shark on his vehicle's hood. The owner said he then put it in the cart. 

The sheriff's office says days later they were called to driveway in Vilano Beach where they found another dead shark. The deputies called in the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission to dispose of the sharks.

An investigation is ongoing.
