Honolulu police made their first arrest using a drone, a win for the department's new drone program and a sign of how policing on Oahu is changing.

• The Honolulu Police Department put out video from its first arrest helped by a drone.
• Three suspects tied to a recent string of crimes were caught.
• The drone tracked both the vehicles and the people involved from the air.
• It is part of a new program that sends drones to a scene before officers arrive.

Outlook: Expect police to lean on drones more often in chases and pursuits, with questions about privacy likely to follow.
