New Jersey Drone Scare: Report Claims 15 Agricutural Spraying Drones Stolen and FBI ‘Concerned’

Newark, NJ – An unconfirmed report circulating this week claims 15 high-capacity agricultural drones were stolen in New Jersey last month, raising concern among federal sources and security experts about potential misuse, though no official agency has publicly verified the incident.

The report, published April 22 by Jack Murphy and Sean D. Naylor on The High Side Substack, describes what it calls a “sophisticated theft” involving industrial crop-spraying drones capable of dispersing large quantities of liquid over wide areas.

The FBI has not confirmed this report.
