OSLO: Norwegian authorities have seized a drone operated by a foreigner near Oslo’s airport, after drones led to several flight disruptions in Norway and Denmark this week, a prosecutor with Norway’s police said Thursday.
A man, in his 50s, was flying the drone Wednesday evening in a restricted area, but it did not affect air traffic, Lisa Mari Lokke, head of prosecutions at Norway’s eastern police district, told AFP.
He was not arrested but will be questioned by police, she added, declining to specify the man’s nationality.
“Yesterday around 9:00 p.m. (1900 GMT) police were informed that a drone had entered the no-fly zone of Oslo airport,” Lokke said.
“When we arrived at the site, we found a man in his fifties piloting the drone,” she said, adding that police then landed and seized the device.
