Dutch test out drone-hunting eagles
Police say the eagles can play a integral role in bringing down nuisance drones.

Police in the Netherlands want to use eagles to take out drones.

The Dutch National Police are testing out eagles that target the unmanned devices that some consider a nuisance.

The bald eagles have been trained to swoop in and neatly dispose of any unwanted electronic interlopers.

The Dutch company that came up with the idea calls them a "low tech solution for a high tech problem."
