HARRISON, NEW JERSEY (RFD News) — The FBI is investigating the theft of several agricultural drones in New Jersey. According to a report on The High Side, 15 drone sprayers, valued at more than $750,000, were taken by someone posing as a delivery driver.
The drones can spray up to 40 gallons of liquid chemicals over roughly 15 acres.
A former FBI agent cited in the report says equipment like this could be easily misused if it ends up in the wrong hands.
RFD News has reached out to the USDA for comment and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
