Calif. PDS drone finds a burglary that is hidden in the ceiling

Oecerside, California – The Oceanside police had discovered the suspect in the shopping center early Friday morning. They knew he was in the building. The question was where?

The answer came after the officials had flown a drone between the ceiling tiles and the roof of the building, where they found that their suspect pretended to sleep before he partially fell through the tiles, the Oceans police said in a press release on Friday.

Shortly after 3:15 a.m., the police reacted to a burglary alarm in a company in the Avenue Mission west of the Canyon Avenue. When the officers arrived there, they saw a suspect in the premises, the police said.

Several officers, including a K-9 unit from the sheriff's office, searched for it, but could not find it. They thought he could be crawlspace in the ceiling – so they put a drone over the ceiling tiles and found a man.

He fell through the ceiling tiles, but a wire caught him and saved him from falling onto the floor, said Lt. Michael Provence. Officers could help him.

The 36-year-old was arrested and instructed to the Vista detention center on suspicion of burglary, and what the police said was an outstanding arrest warrant.

The Oceanside police have used drones since 2016, and although this was not the first time that a suspect is in a blanket, it is not common, said Provence.

The drone use of the drone was not related to a still-in-the-work program to send a drone to a scene immediately after a call and possibly before the officials arrived. The city council of Oceanside agreed last month for approval The proposal as a 13-month pilot program.
