Mission of Mysterious Circling Helicopter Secret for Now

A low-flying helicopter circling northern Haverhill had residents stretching their necks Thursday morning, but the mission of the chopper remains a secret for now.

Haverhill Police Detective Lt. Robert P. Pistone told WHAV he is “not at liberty to say” why the helicopter is being used, but that residents need not worry.

“The public is not at risk for anything associated with the operation of the helicopter in the area,” Pistone said.

Police will be explaining the purpose in the near future, he said.
