The security personnel around the complex were quickly alerted, while players and coaches halted their training. It is, however, illegal to fly or spy over private properties.
local police later found out that it was four adults and a child who were controlling the drone and that it was a “harmless flight”.
The police took over details of the individuals who were responsible for the flight and erased all necessary footage that could leak out to unwanted persons.
The adult had said ” I wanted to show my kid what the Bayern Munich training ground looks like”
A similar occurrence had happened in the English Championship which involved Chelsea boss Frank Lampard and Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa, when the Leed’s boss was spotted on around Derby County’s training ground before a crucial match in January 2019. An incident that cost both Leed United and manager Marcelo Bielsa fines.
