Mexican drug traffickers not connected to any cartel are turning to drones to deliver their goods to the UJ.S.
On Tuesday night, police in Tijuana were alerted to a drone crash in in a supermarket parking lot near the San Ysidro border crossing. The cops found that the drone, a $1,500 'Spreading Wings S900', had six packets of meth, each weighing over a pound, strapped to it. The drone, which has six propellers, appeared to have been heading for California and is believed to have crashed because the meth it was carrying was too heavy a load. The cops are investigating where the flight originated and who was controlling it.
Authorities say that drug traffickers in Mexico who are not connected to any of the cartels, are turning to the use of drones as a relatively inexpensive way to deliver their goods to the U.S. But Mexican drug traffickers are not the only ones using drones to deliver drugs. Last April, South Carolina prison authorities found a drone outside a prison fence that was carrying cellphones, marijuana and tobacco.
