Via the BBC: Drone carrying drugs crashes near US-Mexico border
A drone carrying more than six pounds (2.7kg) of methamphetamine has crashed near Mexico’s border with the US.
Mexican police in Tijuana say they were alerted to an unidentified object in a car park of a shopping centre.
“The drone had packages taped to it and was covered with plastic bags containing the drug known as crystal”, the local police chief said.
Add this to the list of tunnels, catapults, and so forth to thwarted one of the purposes of the “danged fence.”
