The FBI has been using drones domestically since 2006, longer than previously known, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The findings come from the inspector general’s audit of drones, which found that the FBI flew unmanned planes weighing less than 55 pounds to track suspects and examine crime scenes.

The FBI declined to comment on the findings.

In June, outgoing FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III revealed to Congress that the FBI had a drone program.
