    The Local
    DB are hoping their new Bond-like miniature helicopters — red all over, with the DB logo — will be able to detect and film spray-painters and vandals in the act, wrote Bild am Sonntag. ...

    If suspicious movement is detected, the operator on the ground alerts a pilot also at ground level, who can then chase down the culprits using a remote control which works up to 40 kilometres away. ...

    Bild am Sonntag is basically the German equivalent of The Sun on Sunday. Maybe not the best source for reliable information.

    Explain why the BBC and Der Spiegel have picked up on the Bild story as well as The Local. They aren't the only ones either.

    Because it's probably true. These sources weren't mentioned by the above poster.
