The Chronicle reports pilot Learie Barclay appealed on social media for the public to stop flying drones in the MV Barima search area, saying low-flying aircraft including his own were being endangered. It notes Opposition MP Sherod Duncan was detained on Tuesday 21 July over alleged unauthorised drone use and later released, with Home Affairs Minister Oneidge Walrond saying he did not have the required licence.
