15 agricultural drones that were stolen last month in New Jersey were recovered on Monday elsewhere in the state, the New Jersey State Police said.
The March 24th theft at CAC International, a logistics and shipping company located in Harrison, NJ, spooked authorities because these drones are built for precision spraying of crops and, in the wrong hands, could be programmed to disperse dangerous chemicals over a route controlled by GPS.
"This is an active, ongoing investigation that Homeland Security Investigations and Customs and Border Patrol are assisting with. No additional information is available," a state police statement said. The stolen drones were dropped off at the Dover warehouse the same day, where they have apparently been sitting ever since, according to workers who said they noticed them and called police. Reports began to surface that authorities, including the FBI, were on the lookout for the drones.
That's when someone at the Dover warehouse contacted police. The farming drones were catalogued by investigators and placed on a large tractor-trailer to be moved to a secure location. Have a breaking news tip or an idea for a story we should cover? Send it to Eyewitness News using the form below.
