Two men from Croydon and Thornton Heath have been jailed after arranging for drugs, weapons and phones to be taken into prison.

27-year-old Bradley Scott has been handed 6 years while 18-year-old Jevonte White was sentenced to one year and 11 months.

The court heard that between January and June last year, the pair worked together to arrange for Class A and B drugs, weapons and mobile phones to be taken into prisons across the UK.

This happened on 105 occasions at 17 different prison estates.

The pair packed the items in drink cartons and flew packages over prison walls using a purpose-built drone which had been programmed with flight data to take it as close as possible to prisoners’ cell windows.
