Narrative:
An abandoned plane was found hidden away in bushes. It is the object of investigations by law enforcement officers. There is a suspicion that the plane was used for transporting drugs.

Aircraft marked as N89... in picture from local media, however thee quoted registration N890NC is currently in a very distinctive Black & white color scheme ( As at 01/2017 ), so the assumption must be that these are false marks, and this is not c/n LJ-893.
