Cheshire Monitors' Anthony Robinson was allegedly caught by police illegally flying his drone out of sight and over private property at Cholmondeley Park, Cheshire. Sources tell us Robinson was asked to leave after he was unable to produce a valid drone licence when challenged by officers.
UK drone laws are straightforward: you must stay below 120 metres (400 feet) and always keep your drone within visual line of sight (VLOS). These rules exist for aviation safety and to protect people's privacy on the ground. Robinson appears to have breached both requirements.
But for the notorious hunt saboteur, breaking the law seems to be becoming something of a habit.
A Pattern of Criminal Behaviour
This latest incident comes just months after Robinson walked out of Wrexham Magistrates' Court with a criminal conviction after he had been targeting a teenager.
On 23 September 2025, Robinson was found guilty of using threatening, abusive and insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause harassment, alarm and distress. He received a 10-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, along with a restraining order protecting his teenage victim. The court also ordered him to undertake a programme of rehabilitation activity.
That conviction stemmed from an incident on 2 October 2024, when Robinson was arrested outside the Wynnstay Hunt Kennels. Police had been called after Robinson followed an 18-year-old hunt member in a car.
According to reports at the time, four carloads of hunt saboteurs – believed to have travelled from Liverpool – attempted to pursue hunt members back to their homes after a meet. One young member drove to the kennels seeking safety, but was then blocked in by masked men in a car.
When police arrived, witnesses say Robinson hurled abuse at officers, calling them "scumbags".
Not His First Assault
Robinson's criminal record stretches back even further. On 28 April 2021, he was convicted of common assault after attacking a landowner in November 2019 while sabbing with the South Coast Hunt Sabs. He was fined £180, ordered to pay £325 in costs, and hit with a £32 victim surcharge.
The previous year also saw Robinson in court, having been charged with assaulting a man and halting a legal pheasant and partridge shoot near Brighton. Witnesses say he was masked up.
Hunt saboteurs often present themselves as peaceful activists defending animals. Yet here we have a repeat offender who follows teenagers, abuses police, assaults landowners, and breaks aviation laws while trespassing.
