When the drug delivery goes overboard (and the Navy knows it)
It seems that someone in Sonora thought that delivering methamphetamine by plane was as easy as ordering an Uber Eats. Spoiler: it is not. The Secretary of the Navy (Semar) gave a resounding “cancelled” to this narcotic enterprise when they detected a green-and-white Cessna (yes, the colors of the lemon-lime soda) landing on a clandestine runway in Cajeme. The menu of the day? Two kilos of crystal and a driver with more legal problems than followers on Twitter.
The operation: less “Top Gun”, more “did you seriously think we wouldn’t see you?”
According to the official statement (which sounds more boring than a political speech), the Navy was doing its routine maritime and air surveillance when, surprise, they spotted the suspicious little plane. They tracked him down like he was an ex you can’t get over, until he landed in the middle of nowhere. There the sailors were waiting for them, probably with faces like “another plane, really?”. The detainee, whose name was not revealed (although we bet his name is something like “El Chapito Jr.”), now has a mandatory appointment with the Public Ministry. His plane and merchandise, confiscated. No returns or refunds.
The funny thing is that this is the third similar incident this year in Sonora. Didn’t anyone explain to these drug traffickers that clandestine tracks are as out of fashion as bell-bottoms? Between drones, satellites and radars, it’s like trying to hide a pink elephant in a 40m² apartment. But hey, at least they give work to the Navy, which already has enough chasing contraband and rescuing cats in trees.
Fun fact: the plane was a Cessna, the same model that the rich use for their express trips to Cabo. Ironies of life: some use it for daisies, others to literally screw up.
Moral? If you’re going to deal drugs, at least use a 21st century method. Or better yet, dedicate yourself to OnlyFans like everyone else.
