Russian-Israeli citizen arrested on Storskog border crossing with two drones and several data-storage devices.

A Russian-Israeli citizen was arrested after Norwegian police found two drones and several data-storage devices in his vehicle during a routine border check. He had entered Norway on 25 August on a tourist visa and was attempting to return to Russia when arrested. A Norwegian court ordered his initial detention for two weeks. At that stage, he was not accused of actually flying the drones; the case concerned possession and suspected photography/surveillance.
