Gang used heat-seeking drones to steal cannabis

A GANG who used heat-seeking drones to find cannabis factories to rob have been jailed after being caught out by boasting videos filmed at the scene.

The six swiped £250,000 of plants before being caught when a neighbour alerted police as they tried to steal a crop of 260 plants in May last year.

Dichrije Elliel, 26, Khalid Omar, 24, and Galom Yackobi, 20, were found in the bathroom in Mansfield, Notts.

Escape

Bodycam footage shows Yackobi trying to escape by jumping from the window with his legs dangling in the air — but he suffered a broken wrist and was detained by officers.
