New Hampshire residents complain about 'peeping drone' activity
Police in Hollis, New Hampshire, have received more than 20 complaints recently over suspicious drone activity. Reports of the "peeping drone" claim that it has been lingering outside windows late at night or early in the morning with residents concerned about their privacy. Another complaint came from the town transfer station, where a worried employee said that a drone seemed to be surveying the metals, possibly looking for valuable copper to steal.

The growing concern around the country about “peeping drones” may have come to a town in New Hampshire.

Police in Hollis say they’ve received more than 20 complaints about a drone flying outside people’s windows, usually late at night or early in the morning.

Hollis Police Lt. Rick Bailey said residents are concerned about the invasion of privacy.

Federal Aviation Administration rules require drones to be flown only during daylight, and police say anyone caught using a peeping drone could face state charges as well, including harassment, trespassing or invasion of privacy.
