Drugs and contraband
The smooth log says that "drugs were retrieved mostly in single keys or 5kg duct tapped together".
The contraband was found on a ship at sea.
How do you translate "key" or even "single key" in this context?
Thanks in advance.

Comment: "This is the most appropriate answer in my case because the file I'm translating will be used in Ecuador, so the "ladrillo" term will be easy for the readers to identify."

paquetes/placas de 1 kg
Por el contexto parece claro.
En España se diría "paquete", y si buscas algo más informal pero comprensible... Se llama "placas" a los bloques de 250gr-1kg de hachís...
