Residents in Tipperary say drones are being used by burglars to spy on their homes.

A number of farmers and businesses in Littleton and Two Mile Borris have reported sightings of the remote controlled gadgets flying at nightime - which is illegal.

They say burglars are using the drones to carry out aerial surveillance - to check for a way in and out of a premises and to see what machinery is there.

The sightings have been reported to the Gardai but some say they're prepared to shoot them down themselves.
