The DJI Matrice M300 drone, worth nearly US$30,000 (RM142,065), was being used to search for potential burglary suspects before Goney blasted it out of the sky, according to the plea agreement. — AFP
As deputies investigated a burglary at a Florida business, their drone was shot down by a man armed with a rifle at a neighbouring home, federal prosecutors said.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office drone was destroyed by the gunfire, which caused it to descend “out of control” and crash into the roof of a nearby building on July 11, 2021, in Mount Dora, according to court documents.
