We take these matters seriously and the Ministry of Defence is working in partnership with our allies and the appropriate civilian authorities as they investigate this matter.

The use of uncrewed aerial systems around protected areas in the UK causes a risk to life and is illegal. We will work with civil authorities to prosecute those responsible.
