PARIS (Reuters) - French police will track down and arrest the operators of drone aircraft seen flying illegally on several nights over sensitive sites in Paris and above nuclear power plants, a government spokesman said on Wednesday.

Police received at least 10 reports of drone flights late on Tuesday, including one in eastern Paris where witnesses saw three men retrieve the aircraft and drive off in a black car before police could arrest them, a police source said.
