Remote control drone carrying drugs crash-lands at Wheatfield Prison
A sophisticated plan to land drugs into Wheatfield Prison using a state-of-the-art remote control drone has been foiled after it crash landed in the yard.
But before prison officers could retrieve it one inmate managed to pull the drugs off the device and swallow them.
The incident happened at around 11am yesterday morning when the device, called a quad-copter because it has four rotors, was being landed in the yard.

An digital memory card onboard the mini-helicopter recorded the exact route the device took and also shows the smugglers carried out a trial run before the failed attempt.

This kind of stuff is what will cause our hobby to be held in contempt by the court of public opinion, and eventually people will want to regulate it so strongly it won't be fun anymore. I hope we won't have many more incidents like this,
Logs on XD
Looks like they could have benefited from that drone detection system on Kickstarter. They'd only need ~10,000 nodes ;)
amateurs ;)
My fav bit - they left the logs enabled :-)
This is nothing that a well place CIWS on the roof couldn't handle in short order.
