Flying the devices over the TT course is an offence
Police 'climbed through a river and barbed wire fencing' to make an arrest this afternoon (Wednesday).
It's after reports of a drone at Sulby Bridge.
The devices are prohibited within 1000m of the TT course.
In a post on social media officers said: 'It would have been nice to have some aerial footage of it. But y'know there are no drones allowed.'
Reports of a drone at Sulby Bridge. The use of devices of this sort put the aircraft operating around the course at risk along with the competitors and spectators. It is an offence and there have been plenty of warnings... #getthekettleon #keepingpeoplesafe pic.twitter.com/6yFKFNwcaC

One under arrest for flying the drone over Sulby Bridge. The officers climbed through a river and barbed wire fencing to make the arrest. It would have been nice to have some aerial footage of it. But y'know there are no drones allowed... #keepingpeoplesafe
