OSLO, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Norway police arrested a Russian man at the airport in the arctic town of Tromsoe and charged him with flying a drone, they said on Saturday, marking the second such arrest in one week.
Police seized a large amount of photographic gear, including a drone and several memory cards, during Friday's arrest of the 51-year-old, who had admitted to flying a drone in Norway, police said.
Sanctions laws forbid Russian companies or citizens from operating aircraft in Norway.
It marks the second arrest in one week of a Russian citizen for flying drones in Norway, with another man detained for an initial two week-period following an arrest at the Storskog border crossing.
Norway is now Europe's largest gas supplier after a sharp reduction in flows from Russia.
