Three Al-Jazeera journalists have reportedly been arrested in Paris for illegally flying a drone in the city.
The journalists are accused of flying the drone in the Bois de Boulogne woods without a license, the Associated Press reported.
Police said officers busted the foreigners, who are aged 70, 54, and 36, after they spotted them flying the object.
"The first was piloting the drone, the second was filming, and the third was watching," a judicial sourced told AFP.
Al-Jazeera said on Twitter that the group was arrested while covering the series of mysterious drone sightings in Paris over the past few days.
