Cocaine-laden Aircraft Crashes into Mexico Following High Speed Police Chase, Two Dead

News 18  

It’s raining cocaine in Mexico, it seems. A light aircraft carrying almost half a ton of cocaine crashed in central Mexico after a high-speed airborne chase with authorities, and two people aboard died, the defense ministry said on Wednesday. Monday’s crash came less than two weeks after a business jet reported stolen in Mexico crashed in a Guatemalan jungle near a hidden airstrip, leaving two men dead near an onboard stash of drugs and weapons. In November last year, a group of Italian wild boars left drug dealers in shock after they ate through a stash of cocaine the latter had hidden in a forest in Tuscany. While the cocaine-loving hog may have helped the investigation along, police had been investigating the ring ever since May last year when an alleged drug dealer of Albanian descent murdered by an Italian.
