Two men were part of a conspiracy to smuggle drugs and other banned items into prisons via drones.
Zak Mortimer and Nathan Slemen appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday, June 19 via video link from HMP Liverpool and HMP Altcourse for drug offences and conveyance of prohibited articles into prison.
The court heard how Mortimer and Slemen were childhood friends and Slemen was even living at Mortimer's mum's house after becoming homeless and acted as a "de facto carer" to her. The drug smuggling conspiracy was said to have occurred for around a year in 2022.
