Drones flying over properties - please report!
13th of January, 2026
We have had reports recently of a drone or drones being flown over properties. In at least one case a theft took place a short time later. If you have any information which you believe could identify the use of a drone in suspicious circumstances we urge you to report it via 101. We are obviously talking about situations where it may appear that the drone is being used to study a property as opposed to a child and their parents pursuing their hobby.
We are particularly interested in any vehicles seen linked to such use.
I appreciate that we want to get this message out to farmers and people out in the remote rural areas who don't necessarily use social media, so I would urge you to spread the message.
Timing is key - please report at the time which will hopefully give us the opportunity to investigate there and then.
