A drone equipped with a thermal imaging camera was used to trace a teenage girl who called 999 to report she was with a man who allegedly raped her, police have said.
A man in his 30s was arrested but later released with no further action, police said on Sunday.
Lincolnshire Police said the missing "high risk" 16-year-old girl called in the early hours of Saturday from the Brown's Road area of Boston, Lincolnshire.
She was unable to give her location, but described still being with her alleged attacker in an old industrial complex surrounded by a high fence.
The force said the drone was used to find the girl and guide officers to her within minutes.
