A prison officer has been captured on CCTV taking a 'bulging holdall' full of drugs into jail.
Footage shows Peter Hughes, 32, from Tranmere entering HMP Liverpool with the bag prior to his shift starting in the early hours of April 25, 2020. Hughes was seen entering a prisoner's cell and then leaving 20 seconds later holding an empty bag, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Prison bosses noticed an upsurge in drugs inside the jail and cell searches on one of the wings uncovered numerous banned items, like mobile phones, SIM cards, drugs and tobacco.
