Man catapulted Kinder Egg stuffed with drugs into prison

A man has admitted catapulting a Kinder Egg filled with drugs into a prison.

Wayne Sullivan, of Mallard Close, Liverpool, appeared at Mold Crown Court on Thursday (April 14) and admitted one charge of attempting to throw a prohibited article into a prison previously. Prosecutor Andrew Green told the court that, on August 27, 2020, Sullivan travelled from Merseyside to HMP Berwyn in Wrexham to send in banned items.

Sullivan was spotted on camera exiting a Nissan Juke car at around 2pm. He had donned a face covering and used a catapult to launch a single Kinder Egg capsule over the prison fence, NorthWalesLive reports. Staff at the facility on the Wrexham Industrial Estate immediately reported this to North Wales Police.
