Helicopter drone recovered

The Houston police dive team on Thursday recovered a heavily damaged remote-controlled helicopter drone that crashed last month into Lake Conroe, authorities said.

The $250,000 ShadowHawk, owned by the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, malfunctioned April 25 during training exercises over the lake.

Choppy waves and heavy sediment have hampered the search, officials with the sheriff's office said.

The mini-helicopter weighs about 50 pounds and is equipped with a camera and infrared scanning devices.
