Police have announced that all arrests in Cambridgeshire will now be made remotely via drone.

The announcement was made on the force’s rural cops Twitter account this morning with a picture attached of the device needed to make the arrests.

Pictures show a drone hanging from a piece of string with a baton cable tied to one end with a set of handcuffs retrofitted to the other.

A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Police said: “In an effort to keep officers and the public safe in these unusual times we will be making arrests remotely from now on.

“Offenders will be asked at a distance to stand still while our latest invention applies cuffs.”
