"Police in the UK are now seeing incidents were burglars are scoping out potential targets using off-the-shelf consumer drones.
Suffolk Constabulary has confirmed that there were 16 incidents
involving the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) between January 2014
and March 2015, in response to a freedom of information request made by
the East Anglican Daily Times.
In 10 of the incidents, the police were called to investigate by
civilians who had seen the drones flying, and in one case, a UAV was
flown around a residential property in September 2014, allegedly to
identify it as a potential burglary target, although no one was charged
for this incident.
Only one person was charged in total, for an incident where the
individual got into an altercation with the owner of a drone after
reporting seeing it flying in January 2015."
