Police are cracking down on drone use at the murder scene of a 12-year-old boy, urging the public to respect airspace restrictions.
Hall Green: Police are serious about keeping drones away from a tragic murder scene. A 12-year-old boy was stabbed to death recently, and it’s heartbreaking.
He was found injured on Scribers Lane and rushed to the hospital, but sadly, he didn’t make it. A 14-year-old boy was arrested later, suspected of the murder.
This teen is also being questioned about another attack on an elderly woman. Police have cordoned off the area and are investigating thoroughly.
After drones were spotted flying over the scene, West Midlands Police stepped in. They’ve now restricted airspace above the area to keep it clear.
They’re tracking anyone who tries to break this rule. The police made it clear: no drones allowed without their permission.
A police spokesperson stressed the importance of following this restriction. They want everyone to respect the airspace while they continue their investigation.
Chief Superintendent Richard North described the scene as “incredibly distressing.” He also asked the public not to speculate about what happened.
The victim’s school, Christ Church C of E Secondary Academy, opened as usual and expressed their condolences. They’re focusing on supporting students and families during this tough time.
