It's a bird. It's a plane, no wait. It's a drone carrying a bunch of handguns flying way too close to the border?

According to Lambton County Ontario Provincial Police, officers were contacted after a large drone was spotted stuck in a tree along the St.Clair River near Port Lambton at around 8:30 a.m. on April 29, 2022.

Upon arrival, investigators discovered a bag containing eleven handguns attached to the drone, which they believed were coming from the United States.

Responding officers seized the handguns for further investigation while members of the St. Clair Township Fire Department assisted in removing the drone from the large tree.

As of the time of this article, the investigation is considered ongoing, with updates being provided as they become available.

Anyone with further information about the incident is being asked to contact OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or *OPP (677) on your mobile phone.

"Your call could make our communities safer for all," an excerpt from the report reads.

However, if you or someone you know wishes to remain anonymous, you can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or submit a tip online on the Sarnia Lambton Crime Stoppers website where you could become eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.

Bizarre incidents involving drones are somewhat rare, but they do pop up on police's radar from time to time.

In October of 2021, someone in Toronto was caught using a bow and arrow to shoot at a drone that was flying around the apartment building.
