Lawrence Police Use Drones to Catch Thieves

 

 Police in Lawrence take to the sky to catch a pair of thieves.

 

 Lawrence Police responded early yesterday (Tuesday) to reports of a pair of men breaking into cars and checking front doors of houses in the city's River Ridge neighborhood. When officers arrived on the scene, the two men fled on foot into a nearby wooded area. That's when officers went high-tech.

 

L-P-D used a heat-sensing drone to fly over the wooded area and locate the two suspects. An 18-year-old male and a 17-year-old male were taken into custody. Authorities say several items were stolen from cars, but they are not yet releasing the names of the suspect while the investigation continues.
