A man flying a drone near a Scots prison was stopped by cops - amid concerns he might have been using the airborne gadget to smuggle drugs over the walls.
Tayside police officers stopped the man and gave him advice after it emerged that his piloting at the edge of HMP Perth was innocuous - if not wise.
Cops have teamed up with the Scottish Prison Service to tackle an outbreak of drug smuggling at the prison. Uniformed and plain-clothes patrols were carried out outside the jail last week between June 22 and 24, with mounted patrols deployed on the Friday to deter would-be contraband runners.
