GUARDIA Civil sniffer dogs have found traces of drugs inside a helicopter which had apparently 'crashed itself' in the province of Almería – it was discovered abandoned with no crew members, injured or otherwise, a week ago today.
Police say they cannot determine whether the drugs, believed to be marijuana, were in the craft when it fell out of the sky and landed in the Fernán Pérez area of the Cabo de Gata nature reserve in Níjar.
The craft had no flight plan and its navigation across Andalucía's air space was not recorded anywhere, according to the Guardia Civil.
It crashed and overturned with enough impact to destroy the helices and tail, but apparently not enough to cause any injuries or fatalities, given that the pilot and any other crew members on board were nowhere to be found.
