Police issue 'no drones during TT' warning

Tuesday, 26 May 2015 00:00

The Isle of Man Constabulary is reminding the public that TT is a drone-free festival.

It is illegal to use a drone or any other quad-copter type devices when the roads are closed.

Any individual who flouts this rule could face a fine of up to £2,500.

Police say that anyone who disregards the warning may also face prosecution, and their property could be seized and destroyed.
