Nearly $870,000 worth of industrial drones capable of dispersing large amounts of liquid chemicals were stolen from a New Jersey company in what could become a "nightmare scenario," according to a new report.

Fifteen Ceres Air C31 drones were stolen from CAC International in Harrison, N.J., on March 24, according to The High Side Substack. The drones were allegedly stolen by a delivery driver who duped the company, the report said.

The New Jersey State Police recovered the drones on Monday, the agency said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"On April 27th, the New Jersey State Police Cargo Theft Unit recovered 15 stolen agricultural drones and spray systems. These drones are labeled as agricultural drones due to their specified function as registered crop dusters. The theft occurred on March 24th at CAC International, a logistics and shipping company located in Harrison, NJ. The drones were recovered at Prudent Corporation located in Dover, NJ. This is an active, ongoing investigation that Homeland Security Investigations and Customs and Border Patrol are assisting with. No additional information is available," the New Jersey State Police wrote.

It's the People's Democratic Republic of New Jersey. Don't hold your breath.

Someone probably figures these little things were designed to deliver toxic chemicals to our food supply.

I would look in that direction. Although the perps could easily be correct in their assumption.

We could think it was a foreign enemy stealing from one of our home grown enemies within. But I doubt it.

They can track my private vehicle for 500,000 miles, but these things can’t be found?

Thank you. I did search before posting, but I couldn’t find it. I would like to know: Iran? CCP? ActBlue? .MX? You have to wonder.

I have a feeling some melanated “super pranker” will film himself using them the spray sewage on people for likes while laughing uncontrollably.
