So apparently, PKP - Polish Railways are testing drones to capture coal thieves. It's hard to believe, that they captured an actual footage of steeling during the tests, looks more like PR move, but that's what they say. PKP claim to have plans of implementing the system for automated drone patrolling in near future.  

I think they could use some zoom gimbal camera ;)

    Needed a better camera though, no way there was enough detail there to identify anyone. Needs to go to 4k or maybe a zoom lens. Perhaps if they'd chased the car they could at least have got a number plate, still not bad for a demo run :)

    Am I the only one who was just waiting for the laser guided ordinance to impact?

    It's not a PR move - it's Poland, people steal shit all the time so you're likely to stumble upon thieves easily
