Rural residents fear there may be a link between rogue drones spotted at their properties and burglaries in the same areas.

A police spokesperson confirmed they were investigating reported drone incidents in rural North Canterbury.

Swannanoa contract milker Wayne Pritchard was not taking any chances though when he saw a drone hovering above a dairy shed on Monday night.

A second drone was spotted buzzing around the farm owner’s house, and three suspicious vehicles were seen nearby.

Pritchard and the farm owner reported the sightings and vehicle registration numbers to the police. Many other had residents reporting seeing drones on their properties in the area.

Under New Zealand drone privacy laws, operators must have the consent of the property owner or person in charge of the area they want to fly. That consent also enables them to fly above the neighbouring property.

Low levels of digital literacy among staff is a challenge facing many manufacturing businesses, and strengthening those skills is not only essential to meet rapid technological changes in the workplace, it’s vital to increasing productivity.

“As technology progresses and we move further into Industry 4.0, workers must be upskilled to keep pace with new systems and processes, especially older employees who are not digital natives, but who have invaluable experience in their fields,” says Competenz Sector Manager Jahn Vannisselroy
