Drones flying into prisons to be examined by new police team

The Prison Service and the police are to pool intelligence to tackle the problem of drones flying drugs and mobile phones to prisoners in jails. They will forensically examine captured drones to try to find out who was flying them. The invention of easy-to-fly, remote-controlled aircraft has caused a huge security headache for prisons. The national initiative will involve police and prison officers from all around England and Wales. They will share information about the types of quadcopters and methods used, in an attempt to curb the problem.
