Drone packed with meth crashes near U.S.-Mexico border

Mexico MethaDroneCBC News

Police in a Mexican border city said Wednesday that a drone overloaded with illicit methamphetamine crashed into a supermarket parking lot.

Tijuana police spokesman Jorge Morrua said authorities were alerted after the drone fell Tuesday night near the San Ysidro crossing at Mexico’s border with California.  

Six packets of the drug, weighing almost three kilograms, were taped to the six-propeller remote-controlled aircraft. Morrua said authorities are investigating where the flight originated and who was controlling it. He said it was not the first time they had seen drones used for smuggling drugs across the border.

Other innovative efforts have included catapults, ultralight aircraft and tunnels.

In April, authorities in South Carolina found a drone outside the fence of a prison that had been carrying cellphones, marijuana and tobacco.

  1. “Other innovative efforts have included catapults, ultralight aircraft and tunnels.”

    I like the catapult idea.

    For sending back the illegals.

  2. Yep, those drones are definitely protecting us in the skies….. 🙄 I’m so glad Big Brother is watching us all.
