Suspicious drone activity in York has led to police urging residents to stay alert.

One resident commented: “There was one over ours in Heworth a couple of weeks ago. It hovered a while so I got my phone out to video it and as soon as I did that it flew off.”

Another person called police after “a drone was searching my outbuildings/stables. It hovered over all pausing for a while and I could hear what sounded like the click of a camera noise as if it was taking photographs”.

North Yorkshire Police has issued home security advice in the light of the activity. It says:

  • ensure all your windows and doors are locked, including side gates even when you are in your house or garden
  • do not leave keys in the lock, this prevents them being hooked through letter boxes
  • do not leave valuable items next to doors and windows
  • laptops, tablets and other portable devices should be put away out of sight in a secure place.
