POLICE forces are being tracked with Chinese cameras, drones and surveillance equipment, a watchdog has warned.

Biometrics and surveillance camera commissioner Fraser Sampson suggested bodies using the technology were “generally aware that there are security and ethical concerns about the companies supplying their kit”.

The findings of a survey, carried out by his office, come amid growing concerns about the threat of Chinese spy balloons. Security fears about officers using Chinese-made drones have also been raised.
