An abandoned plane was found by law enforcement officers. It apparently has been used for transporting drugs.
The aircraft, a HS-125, carried the fake registration mark N818LD. This registration belongs to a HS-125-700A according to the the FAA register. After removal of this fake registration, it appeared that this aircraft was originally XB-PDD.
