Law enforcement officers will prosecute UAV operators who illegally used drones in the close vicinity of Newcastle Airport during Friday’s horse races. The air traffic control service contacted the police after receiving a message from the pilot of a light aircraft reporting about the appearance of a suspicious UAV near the airport.
David Williamson, regional director of the Arena Racing Company, emphasized in a statement that police are investigating the details of the incident.
