The FBI and State Police are asking the public for help after reports of drones flying around Morris County, New Jersey

MORRIS COUNTY, N.J. (WABC) — The FBI and New Jersey State Police are now appealing for public information after reports last week of drones flying in Morris County.

The drones reportedly flew in several areas along the Raritan River for several weeks.

The nighttime drone sightings in central New Jersey involved oversized hobby drones that raised questions because of their proximity to a military installation and President-elect Trump’s Bedminster Golf Course.

Witnesses had spotted the gathering of drones and possibly a fixed-wing aircraft.

The FAA has imposed flight restrictions on drones while authorities investigate.

Local police said there was no known threat to public safety.

“Morris County Sheriff James M. Gannon would like to inform everyone that the recent drone activity that many have observed in our communities is being actively investigated. There is no apparent immediate danger to the public at this time,” the Morris County Sheriff’s Office said.

Anyone with information about the drones is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit it online at Tips.fbi.gov.
