    After a hoping several fences, this burglar thought they had found the perfect hiding place. Pretty useless with a drone with a thermal camera & a dog tracking you down. One in custody! Burglary and historic violent disorder and traffic offences. 👏@WMPDogs @CoventryPolice ^JB

    Our drone teams have assisted in tracking down no less than 5 burglars and 2 car thieves over the last two night shifts. A comment from a passerby this week at an incident was "What a waste of taxpayers money". We don't think so. #7inCustody #dronesforgood ^GS2
