As well as a custodial sentence, I think those prosecuted should get to meet some of their victims to hear their stories of holidays ruined, family occasions missed/cancelled, trying to get home for Christmas and what thousands of people have lost out financially as a result of what they’ve done.

IF they are prosecuted and found wanting, could not those affected sue for loss of whatever? Idle musings perhaps. |

Now there's an idea...………..a different scale of criminality altogether of course, but perhaps Messrs Hopwood et al could do the same after the next GWR▸ meltdown? I know, we could call it "Meet the Manager"! |

Finding the culprits is a step but uncovering the motive would be more interesting and useful.

Why are these being flied so close to an airport, is it deliberate or pure accident,They not knowing the airport was there.
I suppose that is just possible, but I'm not sure why a deaf and blind couple would really want a drone.

Telegraph online reporting they've been released without charge....were arrested on a tip off, rather than caught red-handed. So quite possible they'll be back.... |

If the police DID» confiscate the drone from the two former suspects, then this has presumably been returned as the former suspects are no longer suspects and have been released without charge.
Drones cost from under £100 up to many thousands of pounds, depending on size and sophistication.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

The usual trial-by-media too, unfortunately. Yesterday they were the 'Morons who ruined Christmas', today, innocent citizens. Who knows the truth? Certainly not me. I wish we could just let justice take its rather pedestrian course.

An anonymous tip-off phoned in by a local drone enthusiast, surely not? Paul |

I think if I were "Mr & Mrs Moron" I would be looking for a good no win-no fee lawyer at this point ................. |

Confiscated whose drone? I think you mean *what* drone. Police saying it might not even exist as no footage, only human verbal reports with no details exist. |
