A 47-year-old man was arrested this week after a police drone captured him starting a wildfire in the Calabrian countryside in southern Italy on Sunday. The high-resolution camera drone used thermal imaging capabilities to detect the man starting a brush fire in a remote field. Footage shows the suspect noticing the drone and attempting to throw rocks at it before driving off on a motorcycle. The drone operator tracked the man to an isolated farmhouse where authorities later arrived to arrest him. Credit: Roberto Occhiuto via Storyful
