Police officers have arrested two men attempting to use a drone to smuggle contraband into the Arouca Maximum Security Prison.

Officers conducted surveillance at Forde Street Extension, Bon Air, before searching a bushy area nearby.

Two men, identified as a 13-year-old of Oropune Gardens, and a 26-year-old of Tunapuna, attempted to flee through dense bushes and jumping off a 25-foot embankment. Both were apprehended after officers conducted a thorough search of the surrounding river area.
