Tech-savvy burglars are buying £30 drones to case the joint they want to burgle


Burglars have become tech savvy and are using drones as cheap as £30 to go one up on sophisticated intruder systems that have been installed at expensive properties in Britain and the US. This has been revealed in dailymail.co.uk dated 19 May 2015.
The burglar gangs are buying the drones for as little as £30 and are using them to spy on probable targets by sending them over electric gates and fences in order to get a closer look at their targets by filming the layout of estates and zooming in on alarm system wiring.
It seems a drone was allegedly used to identify a property for a burglary in Suffolk and the police have revealed that in the past 18 months, it has investigated 16 varied incidents that involved the mini-helicopters.
The US police have named them ‘the Tub Gang’ and they have used drones in New York and New Jersey to identify burglary targets.
Incidentally, drones can be fitted with cameras and are usually used for recreational purposes – but, gradually, there is an increase in commercial applications like carrying deliveries and monitoring crops.
