Maldives Correctional Service (MCS) on Wednesday night foiled an attempt to smuggle contraband, including mobile phones and a Wi-Fi router, inside Maafushi Prison using a drone.
According to Commissioner of Prisons Ahmed Mohamed, MCS officers seized eight mobile phones, six chargers, a Wi-Fi router, USB cables and two SIM cards from a drone sent to the prison located in Maafushi, Kaafu Atoll.
MCS has on multiple occasions stopped attempts to smuggle contraband into prisons across Maldives, most notably through deliveries as well as visitors hiding the items on their person.
Noting that smuggling attempts have advanced with evolving technology, the Commissioner of Prisons had previously stated that MCS is also increasing and enhancing its resources and facilities accordingly.
