Two men from Dublin have been arrested and charged for allegedly using a drone to deliver over €6,000 worth of drugs into Cloverhill Prison. The men, aged 25 and 30, were apprehended on March 28, 2026, during a Garda surveillance operation aimed at preventing drug smuggling into prisons. They face charges including unlawful possession of cannabis, heroin, and other controlled substances, as well as using a drone for drug delivery. The Gardaí reported that drugs were found near the drone and its controller, which had been activated. The men have been granted bail with conditions, including a prohibition on drone activity.
