Police in a Mexican border city said that a drone overloaded with illicit meth-amphetamine crashed into a supermarket parking lot.
Tijuana police spokesman said authorities were alerted after the drone fell near the San Ysidro crossing at Mexico's border with California.
Six packets of the drug, six pounds, were taped to the six-propeller remote-controlled aircraft. Authorities are investigating where the flight originated and who was controlling it. It was not the first time they had seen drones used for smuggling drugs across the border.
Authorities in South Carolina found a drone outside the fence of a prison that had been carrying cellphones, marijuana and tobacco.
Drones are becoming increasingly used in attempt to smuggle drugs into prisons.
An Australia man was arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle drugs into a prison with a drone, police say.
The 28 year-old man was arrested after the drone was hovering in the vicinity of a prison in Ravenhall. He was charged with possession and attempting to commit an indictable offense and is due to appear in court next week. Drones are really doing a service.
Just a scary thought.
