Acting Prisons Commissioner Hayden Forde says the prevalence of drone sightings and use of the devices to try and smuggle items into prisons has led to discussions over anti-drone equipment at prison facilities.
On Friday, a joint exercise between the prison service, the TTPS and the defence force led to the arrest of two people, one of which was a 13-year-old boy.
The duo, police said tried to fly a drone laden with marijuana, cigarettes, wrapping paper and cellphones into the Arouca Maximum Security Prison.
