Drugs and mobile phones were smuggled into a UK prison inside the bodies of dead rats
Staff on a routine patrol at HMP Guys Marsh in Dorset, southwest England, found three dead rats and later noticed a line of stitches along their stomachs, the Ministry of Justice said in a statement.After opening the dead animals, the officers found that their innards had been removed and replaced with drugs as well as cell phones, chargers and SIM cards.
"This find shows the extraordinary lengths to which criminals will go to smuggle drugs into prison, and underlines why our work to improve security is so important," said prisons minister Rory Stewart."Drugs and mobile phones behind bars put prisoners, prison officers and the public at risk. By toughening security and searching, we can ensure prisons are places of rehabilitation that will prevent further reoffending and keep the public safe.
