Derbyshire Police have launched an investigation after a drone interrupted Chesterfield’s recent playoff semi-final at the Technique Stadium.

Officers were at the stadium for the Spireites’ match against Bromley FC on Sunday, May 7, when a drone was seen flying over the ground.

The drone was sighted at around 5.30pm, with the game being stopped in the second half until it had landed nearby.

A silver Nissan Juke was later stopped in Cranbourne Road in Chesterfield and a man, aged in his 20s, was arrested in connection with the incident. He has since been released on bail pending further enquiries.

Chesterfield’s playoff game against Bromley was paused while the drone flew overhead.
