Drone carrying drugs crashes south of U.S. border

Now the smugglers are trying to do business by air, too, in unmanned aerial vehicles.

The drone was loaded with more than 6 pounds of the synthetic drug crystal meth, Tijuana police said.

The drone crashed Tuesday night in a supermarket parking lot in Tijuana.

“When you look at cartels, their goal is to flood the U.S. with as much drugs as they possibly can,” Barden said. “It also could have been a test run for something bigger.”
