In Atlantic City, New Jersey, a man is now facing accusations of being involved in a drone scheme that took place last year. The ongoing mystery surrounding the recent drone sightings has only added to the intensity of the situation.
Anthony M. Spina, a 31-year-old individual, has been charged with criminal mischief due to his involvement in using drones to drop dye packs into both commercial and residential pools. This activity took place between June 1 and September 1, 2023.
The dye packs transformed the water into a tinted greenish/yellow hue, causing over $4,000 worth of damage.
Authorities report that Spina’s arrest took place when they successfully traced the drones back to him and an unidentified accomplice.
Authorities confiscated a drone and several electronic devices.
Residents in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York are becoming increasingly alarmed as multiple drone sightings have been reported in the area. The recent indictment of Spina adds to the growing concern surrounding these unmanned aerial vehicles.
