Dutch police puzzling over how to remove drones that pose a public safety threat are testing a way to get the job done-by using trained eagles.
"It's a low-tech solution to a high-tech problem," said Dennis Janus, spokesman for the Dutch national police.
The idea arose because amateur use of drones has boomed and police have begun to worry about unlicensed ones flying into off-limit areas around airports or over public events.
