According to Christine Ackwood of CTV News, our next-door neighbour had observed someone enter our yard in the middle of the night using a remote control. "He couldn't figure out what was going on at all."
However, the drone operator lost control of the aircraft, sending it careening into a nearby tree before leaving in a waiting vehicle with his passengers.
A bucket truck was used to recover the drone, which had secured a plastic shopping bag with metal carabiners and electrical tape, according to authorities.
Inside the house, officers discovered 11 handguns, the majority of which were illegal firearms in Canada. According to the police department, a photograph provided by them purports to show that the serial digits of a black pistol have been sanded out.
According to the investigation, the drone flew east from the St. Clair River in Michigan, which marks the Canadian-US border. Police, on the other hand, are still perplexed as to who was in charge of the unlawful drone delivery.
Many of the firearms used in criminal activity in Canada are brought into the country illegally from the United States. Smugglers have employed a variety of methods to avoid detection, including cargo trucks, passenger cars, and airplanes.
