That hit page 2 of this morning's Telegraph newspaper. "CAA Grounds 'falling' police drones" ... After a fairly informative column, they just had to finish the article with "But air safety officials have warned they [Drones] could be dangerous if they fall into the wrong hands." Urgh - So can a ballpoint pen for goodness sake!

Kind of ironic how one of the most expensive drone fleet of DJI is having issues of failed battery.
