He was detained after two hours with the help of a drone that caught a glimpse of him at a construction site nearby.
Weighing 7kg and about 1 sq m in size, the drone used in the operation is one of two of the latest devices in the police's UAV fleet that were unveiled on Wednesday at the Home Team Tactical Centre. The 7kg drone, which does not have a name, is a specialist in crowd management and security events, equipped with heat sensors and cameras to help the police observe crowd movements and pick out suspicious activity.
Other payloads can be attached to a customised rack fitted to its hull, such as a spotlight for better visibility and speaker to broadcast alerts, like warnings and safety advisories. Separately, the police added:"Officers can only see in their line of sight, but with drones, anomalies can be seen much earlier than if on the ground."
"We follow a procedure to purge data once we deem that it is not needed and we don't keep it unnecessarily unless we have to," he added.
yeah!! This would be perfect for the CLark Quay gathering! so...any arrest and fines yet!
