Flying the devices over the TT course is an offence
Police 'climbed through a river and barbed wire fencing' to make an arrest this afternoon (Wednesday).
It's after reports of a drone at Sulby Bridge.
The devices are prohibited within 1000m of the TT course.
In a post on social media officers said: 'It would have been nice to have some aerial footage of it. But y'know there are no drones allowed.'
