Look out! Drone in your area

Emory from Kelburn

Hi everyone,

This afternoon (about an hour ago) I was flying my drone around the Te Ahumairangi Hill Trig point lookout taking some shots of the city and a huge gust of wind blew it northwest of that spot. Surrounding streets are Pembroke road, Bedford st, Glamorgan st etc – but it could be anywhere in northland/wilton – this is just the general area where it lost connection. Attached is an image of the last known GPS coordinates before the drone lost connection, so I assume it's not far from here. I've also included a photo of what the drone looks like.

If anyone finds it, or heard any buzzing noises nearby, I would be so appreciative of any information, and I'd be more than happy to give a reward for anyone who knows where it is. I'm so gutted, so if you or anyone you know can tell me anything at all that would be amazing!
