Officers policing the British Grand Prix at
Silverstone have located and seized two drones
being flown illegally within the restricted zone
around the circuit. Northamptonshire Police
officers and drone specialists from
Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service detected
the devices earlier today, Saturday, July 13,
using drone detection and pilot detection
software. The pilots were located in campsites
that fell within the two and a half mile CAA
flying restriction zone which is currently in
place around the Silverstone heliport. The
pilots have been spoken to by police and the
drones were seized.

Policing commander for the event, Superintendent
Dennis Murray, said The specialist software has
so far proved extremely effective. We have been
able to detect the drones and locate the pilots
following these two incidents and the pilots have
been spoken to. I want to remind people that
drones are a prohibited item and will be
confiscated if bought to the circuit. People
should also be aware that a two and a half mile
CAA flying restriction cordon is in place around
the circuit heliport and this also takes in most
of the campsites.

Officers will continue to monitor the software
for unauthorised use of drones and will also be
on the lookout during their regular patrols of
the circuit and campsites. Anyone found to be
breaking the rules with regard to the relevant
legislation will be spoken to and appropriate
action taken.

Racegoers and campers are urged to note the
following advice
Leave drones at home you will not be able to
fly them legally or safely either at the circuit
or in the nearby campsites. A 2.5 mile flying
restriction cordon is in place around the circuit
this means that no drones will be allowed to
fly within that cordon unless they have approval
from the heliport tower. Police will be
monitoring for unauthorised use of drones within
the no-fly zone and anyone found to be breaking
the rules with regard to the relevant legislation
will be spoken to and appropriate action taken.
