MH370 ‘wreckage’ in Cambodia is ‘surrounded by armed illegal loggers high on crystal meth’

Two self-styled MH370 hunters, who claim to have found the wreckage of the doomed plane in the Cambodian jungle, have been warned not to approach the site.

British video producer Ian Wilson and brother Jack touched down in the capital Phnom Penh on Tuesday after claiming to have found the plane on Google Maps .

The MH370 flight had been en route from Kuala Lumpar to Beijing when it vanished on March 8, 2014 with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on boad.

Ian and Jack started their trek to the site yesterday but have been warned to stay away as the site is reportedly “surrounded by armed illegal loggers high on crystal meth”.

They’ve been warned the area of mountainous terrain between Chrok La Eang Waterfalls is rife with danger.

According to the Daily Star, an unnamed expat emailed Wilson to say: “The real danger you have is not so much the terrain, but the illegal loggers who are operating in the area and would not be pleased to see white guys wandering around with recording equipment.

“I don’t want you to get into a potentially dangerous situation, either in the jungle or with these guys (who are mostly on mephamphetamine to keep them awake, and armed with big knives, at the very least.).”

The aircraft in the Google Maps image is believed to be one that was captured in flight but Wilson is convinced it’s the doomed MH370 plane.

The finders’ fee for the plane currently stands at £53million.

The official search for the main wreckage of the plane, with some scraps found, was recently called off.

The plane turned off course and disappeared from the radar never to be seen again and investigators presume it crashed in the Indian Ocean, west of Australia.

But some theorists claim Captain Ahmad deliberately crashed the plane – a theory that has never been substatinated.

Investigators have suggested the possibility of hijacking but there is no psychological or criminal evidence to suggest any of the crew deliberately crashed the plane.

Three pieces of wreckage believed to be from MH370 have been found from as far north as Tanzania and as far south as South Africa.

Investigators have considered more than 60 theories about what could have happened to the plane and have worked extensively since the plane vanished.

However, despite releasing a 1,500-page report , they admitted they still cannot say what happened.
