Sergeant Vince Saunders, chief pilot at Nottinghamshire Police’s drones unit, said: “Drones are a quick and cost-effective way to put an eye in the sky and give officers a three-dimensional view of any situation.
“This was the latest example of just how hard it is for suspects to hide from the law once a drone is put into the air."
