    LONDON, Ont. — Police in London, Ont., have issued a warning about drone safety after a Medevac helicopter reported a near miss with an unmanned aerial vehicle.
     
    They say the helicopter was flying about 365 metres above the ground when the incident occurred.
     
    Police say the London International Airport reported the incident to police and has also filed a report with Nav Canada.
     
    They are reminding drone users that flying the vehicles closer than nine kilometres from any aerodrome, and above 90 metres is prohibited.
     
    Drones can't be flown closer than 150 metres from people, animals, buildings, structures, or vehicles, or in populated areas or near large groups of people, including sporting events, concerts, festivals, and fireworks shows.
     
    It's also prohibited to fly a drone anywhere where it may interfere with first responders.
