Two people have been arrested after allegedly conducting a "hazardous drone operation" near the airspace of the US city of Boston's main airport, police said.
Robert Duffy, 42, and Jeremy Folcik, 32, were arrested on Long Island, part of the Boston Harbor Islands, on Saturday night.
They were charged with trespassing and police said they may face further counts and fines over the drones, which were "dangerously close" to Logan International Airport.
Their arrests follow a series of drone sightings across the US north-east in recent weeks. Police have given no indication that the sightings are connected to these arrests.

Those cases appeared to be pea-brained hobbyists.
The Chinese national recently picked up for essentially surveilling Vandenberg AFB was, to be blunt, spying. He was using a small drone, but even so. The newspaper article was in no way alarmist, it just gave the facts.
We’ve got a poster who has made a whole string of posts with “Panic” and “Drones” in the title. I’m not panicking — I’m irritated as hell.
