A modern twist on drug peddling came out into the open when a drone carrying illegal drugs crashed in Lahore.
Police said that the drone was ‘larger than usual’ and the drug it was carrying was heroin. The value of the 6kg drugs is said to be in millions of rupees.
According to Kahna Station House Officer (SHO) Abdul Wahid, the incident took place in Rasoolpura village.
After the crash, a number of locals gathered around the drone and the police were called in later.
SHO Wahid said the police had taken both the drone and the drugs — worth millions of rupees — into custody.
“They have been handed over to the Anti-Narcotics Force for further investigation pertaining to where the drone was operated from and where it was headed,” he added.
Earlier this year, the Narowal police had arrested five suspects allegedly involved in cross-border heroin smuggling through drones. During the investigation, the police also confiscated a control device, eight batteries and automatic weapons.
