CRIMINALS at a Glasgow jail are using drones to try and smuggle drugs and mobile phones into prison grounds.– with a new investigation revealing that a number of drones have been used to pilot illicit substances and handsets over the walls of HMP Barlinnie in Riddrie.
Criminals have turned to the high-tech method of breaching security after the introduction of a policy to photocopy prisoners’ mail stopped inmates receiving psychoactive substances which were being sprayed onto the pieces of paper. He said: “It is clear criminals are now using drones to try and smuggle dangerous drugs and contraband into the prison estate.
