According to a report from The Daily Mail, authorities are probing the sophisticated theft of 15 powerful agricultural spray drones from a New Jersey facility last month, with the FBI expressing significant concern over the potential for misuse.
The incident, which occurred in March, has raised alarms among counterterrorism experts. These industrial-grade drones are designed for precision application of liquids over large areas using pre-programmed GPS routes, a capability that could be repurposed for dispersing dangerous substances.
Steve Lazarus, a retired FBI agent, told The High Side: “The bureau is freaked out for a good reason. These aren’t hobby drones with cameras. They’re industrial sprayers designed to carry and disperse significant amounts of liquid quickly and with precision.”
He warned of “ridiculously bad” consequences and “a potential nightmare scenario” if the machines fell into the wrong hands, noting their ability to cover wide swaths of land—up to 30 acres per flight—in minutes.
Each drone typically retails for $15,000 to $30,000, putting the total value of the stolen equipment between roughly $225,000 and $450,000. Most models can carry 10 to 40 gallons of liquid, making them efficient tools for farming but a serious risk if weaponized.
The FBI has declined to comment publicly on the ongoing investigation. The theft revives long-standing post-9/11 concerns about the use of crop-dusting technology to spread biological or chemical agents, now amplified by the availability of advanced, remotely operated systems.
This event unfolds against a backdrop of heightened drone-related incidents in New Jersey, including numerous sightings of unidentified aerial vehicles in 2024 near critical infrastructure and military sites. Federal officials have repeatedly cautioned that U.S. cities remain vulnerable to weaponized commercial drones.
