Drug traffickers in Northern Colombia are using drones to smuggle illegal narcotics across the border into Panama, according to Colombian police who recently found 286.6 pounds of cocaine and ready to assemble UAV parts buried on a beach. The drone had the capacity to transport 100kms on each trip and travel a distance of 10kgs. The police believe the powerful criminal gang known by several names; Clan del Golfo, Clan Usaga and Los Urabenos, was responsible. Drones have been used to smuggle drugs from Mexico to the US since at least 2010.
