Yesterday, in Zona Rio, Tijuana, the eyes fell from the sky, carrying 6 pounds of methamphetamine, assumedly headed across the San Ysidro border. The drone was a 'Spreading Wings S900', with 6 propellers and lithium batteries. This drone model retails for about $1500. It may become more common to see these type of smuggling attempts take place, as smaller traffickers seek cost efficient, reliable ways to cross product.
At maybe 2,000 a pound, the crystal will wholesale for maybe 2800-3000 a pound once on the US side. At 3k a pound times six, thats a roughly 6k profit, minus the 1500 or so for the drone. It may become an accepted way to bypass the line, with it's many hassles, variables and watchful eyes.
