They're putting these drones to good use now!

Drone overloaded with meth crashes in Mexican border city

Published January 22, 2015 Associated Press



XICO CITY – 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 more than six pounds, 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.

It's never going to end, unless America actually stands up for themselves and actually does something to the people they catch doing this shit.


Unless they are high ranking / high dealing, these people are always let off easy and go right back at it after they are deported (if caught on this side at least).

Lol that little drone carrying 6 pounds of weight... these boys are not aero engineers thats for sure.

[PINeely]

Goodness I knew that those things could do a gopro or something but 6 POUNDS of weight? That's seriously impressive. Although I guess it would actually be slightly less than 6 pounds, haha

Not even ONCE!!

Clever! Although two trips of three pounds would have made more sense.

That's a meth problem that's too complicated for these people oops I mean math

Damn that shit is crazy. I wonder if they are watching this because if you get a range extender along with the 2 way video you could easy get over 100 lbs in days. Just have people taking turns that know what they are doing.

That's what happens when Mexicans do math on meth..

[Joekerr]

Yeah, you know they probably just started off with 15 lbs of the stuff and kept taking a pound off at a time until they achieved liftoff.

"Yep...it'll fly."

pretty unique.


drugs will never stop. i find it funny how people think they can put an end to it.

I think drone shooting/hunting will be a sport of some sort in the near future.

That would be awesome...flight path unknown so makes it more interesting.

I think if they are using ultralights as well that they should be added to the list of approved targets. Numbnuts up there in the ultralight will never pilot one again and it would make for a good bang!

I can see them interviewing one of those idiots..."Oh, you thought you were flying into civilized America where you were relying on their catch and release program? No, this is the wild west sir."
