FBI Investigates Theft of 15 Chemical Spraying Drones in New Jersey Amid Security Concerns
In New Jersey, 15 large agricultural drones, known as Ceres Air C31, were stolen by a fraudulent delivery driver who deceived the shipping company CAC International. These drones, capable of spraying up to 40 gallons of chemicals over a 15-acre area in just seven minutes, were taken on March 24. The FBI is investigating the theft, fearing that the drones could be used to disperse biological or chemical weapons. The theft is considered highly sophisticated, raising alarms about potential misuse by terrorists. Retired FBI agent Steve Lazarus highlighted the ease with which these drones could be weaponized, noting the availability of online resources for creating chemical and biological weapons.
