Brookhaven, United States - December 16, 2024 A dramatic turn of events unfolded on December 4, 2024, when Brookhaven police deployed a drone to locate a suspect hiding in the ceiling of a local business. Officers had initially responded to a report of a male suspect threatening employees and discovered he had an active arrest warrant for assault. When they attempted to detain him, the suspect resisted, broke free, and concealed himself inside the building. After a brief search, officers suspected he had climbed into the ceiling. Using a drone for a safer and more efficient search, officers quickly located him hiding in a corner above. Realizing he had no escape, the suspect complied and was safely taken into custody. This successful operation highlights the effectiveness of combining traditional police work with modern technology to ensure safety for both officers and the public.
