Person arrested after flying drone over MGP course

Device seen over Ballaugh Bridge

A person was arrested during yesterday's Manx Grand Prix racing after flying a drone over the course.

The operator was using the device over Ballaugh Bridge.

Police say they pose a risk to the racers, spectators and the medical aircraft operating around the island, that's why they're not allowed whilst the roads are closed for racing.

During TT a visitor from Dartford was fined £3,000 after being caught flying a drone near Sulby Bridge.
