Police drone was used to save a teenager!

Boston,october 6: A teenage girl who did not know where she was called 999 to report that a man had raped her was found after police deployed a drone equipped with a thermal imaging camera. The 16-year-old called emergency services in the early hours of Saturday to say she was on land somewhere in Boston, with her attacker.

Boston police were then able to trace the missing girl after recognising the description she gave of a levelled factory site. She could not give her location, but described being with her attacker in an old industrial complex surrounded by a high fence.

The force said the thermal drone was used to find the girl and guide officers to her within minutes. After picking up two heat sources, it led officers to the location of the girl and the suspected attacker, near the scene of the alleged crime.
