Thieves using heat-detecting drones to steal cannabis

Postby teetee » Fri Apr 18, 2014 2:53 pm

Another reason to invest in LED technology......


Criminals are using cheap kit bought from supermarkets to build heat seeking drones they can use to track down cannabis farms to rob.
Tech-savvy thieves are buying drones for as little as £60 from supermarkets such as Tesco and attaching infra-red cameras to them, which they can monitor via an iPad.
By flying the modified drones over houses, they can locate the drug dens, as cannabis farms produce a large amount of heat, due to the huge hydroponic heat and light required to grow the plants.
Burglars are then breaking in to the premises and stealing the crop to sell on the streets.
Any digital camera has the potential to film in infra-red, it's a simple task of replacing basic components, meaning it is becoming both easier and cheaper for criminals to obtain heat-detecting technology.
Yesterday, Labour MP Tom Watson, who is the chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Drones, said: 'This is remarkable and shows the proliferation of drone technology which can be used for both good and bad.
'It is no surprise enterprising criminals would want to get the upper hand in the criminal underworld by using drones.

And that's what they get for not being smart and doing this underground and not using LEDs.
