Lincolnshire Police warn about offences with drones

Police are raising public awareness about the use of drones (unmanned aerial vehicles).

Temporary Ch Insp Deb Clark, of Boston/South Holland Local Policing, said: “Drones are cheap, and easy to get in the air. No doubt many will have been given as presents over Christmas.
“The ownership and use of drones is not in itself unlawful but in certain circumstances their use may contravene air safety legislation and they can be used to commit offences such as assaults, damage, harassment or voyeurism.

“We are raising awareness today of the general rules to follow but, ultimately, anyone operating a drone should use common sense and take responsibility for it.”

Anyone wanting more information about using a drone should check the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) website at www.caa.co.uk/uas
