The Durango Police Department has already made good use of its newest, high tech addition.
The device is equipped with thermal imaging, lights and a speaker. Police say the drone spotted two men leaving a trail after assaulting their girlfriends and robbing them of $2,000.
Authorities say the men hid from police until police left the area. That’s when the suspects walked out to their vehicle, unknowingly being watched by the drone.“No high-speed chase, no tussle in the bushes, no officers injured. This is always our goal; to work smarter to safely apprehend criminals,” police said.
