At around 9:30 PM, the police received a report that someone was flying a drone. The description of this person was also shared. Police officers nearby saw the man and spoke to him. His drone was seized, and he will receive a fine. It is up to the public prosecutor to decide what happens next. Starting Wednesday, June 18, there are flight bans for unmanned aerial vehicles, such as drones, in the areas around The Hague, Valkenburg, and Noordwijk.

Enforcing Flight Bans

The police strictly enforce drone activities in areas where flight bans are in effect. Violating the rules, such as flying in prohibited areas, can result in fines or the seizure of the drone. Despite the ban that came into effect on Wednesday, we have detected and intercepted several drones. Multiple drones have already been seized. Therefore, once again, a strong call to respect the airspace closure and not to fly with a drone.
