Criminals in Greater Manchester are delivering everything from hard drugs to mustard to prison cell windows, police have said.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) Det Supt Andy Buckthorpe said the region’s gangs are using skilled drone pilots to deliver packages containing drugs, but also tobacco and even condiments.
GMP recently used dogs and a helicopter in raids outside HMP Forest Bank private prison in Salford as part of efforts to crack down on the problem.
A spokeswoman for the category B jail, which is run by French prison operator Sodexo, said staff were working with police to “tackle the conveyance of illicit items and reduce levels of violence”.
