Charlie Taylor, the HM chief inspector of prisons, highlighted the surge in drone incursions at prisons, stating it raises serious concerns about the potential for introducing firearms.
The official figures revealed a staggering tenfold increase in drone incidents in UK prisons since 2020, emphasizing the emerging threat to prison security.
Taylor noted that the presence of drugs and contraband is destabilizing prisons, giving rise to violence, debt, and dominance by organized crime.
The sophisticated drones capable of carrying up to 7kg of illicit goods pose serious risks to facilities housing high-risk prisoners, particularly in terms of potential firearms infiltration.
