At Last: Drug Dealers Are Using Drones To Ferry Drugs (And Getting Caught)

Imagine standing in a shopping mall parking lot and having six pounds of meth land next to you. That's right, drugs are falling from the sky in Mexico.

Ah, the good ‘ol days when people used to stick drugs up their backsides and waddle through security penguin-style.

Of course, the art of drug trafficking was always going to evolve with the times, and it has long been reported that drone drug transport is taking place in Mexico. Finally, we have our proof. This from NBC:

The unmanned aircraft hauling more than 6 pounds of crystal meth in six packages fell from the sky into the parking lot of a supermarket in Tijuana just before 10 p.m…

Perhaps six pounds was a little greedy on the smugglers’ part, although with the spate of drug cartel-related murders we will refrain from offering any advice.
