"The payload also held a Motorola phone, bandanas, electric hair trimmers - commonly fashioned into tattoo guns - a few sheets of paper soaked in an unknown substance, and at least 13 balloons stuffed with weed."
"According to New York corrections commissioner Daniel Martuscello, the state is aware of nearly 12 other drone dead-drops, something he calls an 'evolving but imminent threat.'"
"In South Carolina, for example, there were at least 250 drone drops in 2024, which rose slightly to 254 the following year."
"'It could be well over 300, 350, those that we don't see in the middle of the night that never make it in,' South Carolina DOC director Joel Anderson told corrections officer publication Corrections1."
A neon-green quadcopter drone dropped a package containing contraband at a New York state prison, including knives, a phone, and drugs. The drone, an Xpece One fishing model, was recovered by officers. New York corrections commissioner Daniel Martuscello noted an evolving threat from drone deliveries, with nearly 12 similar incidents reported. Drones have become popular for smuggling in prisons, with South Carolina reporting at least 250 drone drops in 2024. The actual number of incidents across the US is likely much higher, with many undetected drops.
