Investigators say they’re investigating the Monday incident as a suspicious activity.
Police say that it happened near the former King’s Inn property at about 6 p.m.
One of the give kids that were fishing say they saw the drone come out of a wooded area on the northern side of the property. The drone flew above the group before flying away. It then returned and dropped a bag of candy near the kids.
Witnesses say they saw a black SUV parked in the northern section of the property, which was then seen leaving hastily after the candy had been dropped. The first letters of the license plate were observed by one witness to read “FED.”
