Police found drugs and a drone near a Nottinghamshire prison. The items suggest a planned drop-off. Two suspects were in a car nearby, and they were going to HMP Ranby, it seems.

Officers stopped the car Tuesday night on the A614 Old Rufford Road in Bilsthorpe around 11:30 p.m. This followed an investigation into a prior prison incident from February 6.

Inside the car, police located a drone and a set of tights. The tights held Class A drugs and phones, along with chargers and SIM cards.

Police arrested two men, ages 26 and 39. They are suspected of supplying Class A drugs and smuggling items into the prison. The 26-year-old was also found to be in possession of cannabis.

Police say drugs in prison are dangerous, risking inmates and staff alike. Anyone involved will face prosecution, as selling illegal drugs harms communities.

The investigation continues, and police ask for any helpful information. Call 101 and mention incident 698, referencing February 11, 2025. You can also use Crimestoppers anonymously at 0800 555 111.
