Additionally it is possible the perpetrators rehearsed for the drone’s flight.

They were standing near traffic lights a few hundred yards from the penitentiary.

As far as the drone is worried, the Phantom Vision apparatus are actually little and streamlined due to which these can readily fit everywhere even into the corner of a bag. Its maker DJI keeps the drone can fly for around 50minutes if it’s an additional battery.

‘A drone has flashing lights and sounds like a swarm of bees so you are likely to bring attention. You had need to be somewhat proficient to pull away this and these men certainly were not.’

A potential rehearsal for the drone’s flight might have taken place a month past.

Farhat Erdogan, who works in a Londis shop near the website, said he believed two guys were involved.

29, Mr Erdogan, said: ‘I wondered what they were doing and saw these men in their 30s with a drone.

Near traffic lights were standing a few hundred yards from the penitentiary. I observed as they sent up the drone into the air.’

22, store worker Paddy Pain, said fellow prisoners had offered a buddy serving a term in the jail cash to take a delivery of prohibited materials.

  1. ‘The evil manoeuvre just got identified a staff member seen as well as when the remote control apparatus got entrapped on the prison’s security wall razor wire and recovered it.’

    …really? Who wrote this, a paper bag? Could they not be bothered to proof-read?

  2. That’s right just hit another nail in the multiroter hobby, you can’t even get the name right….drones are automated and don’t need an operator.
    A dji phantom is multirotor and needs an operator.
    Has for prison staff they would not have known anything if the operator hadn’t crashed into the netting covering the prison

  3. Really? My 10 year old daughter could construct a better report than this. It is true that written English is a not top of most people’s list of things they care about, but Anonymous are painting a poor picture of themselves allowing un-edited and poorly written content like this on their web site.
