A man has been jailed for smuggling drugs, a knife and a McMuffin sandwich into Wormwood Scrubs prison in London.
CCTV footage showed him outside the jail tying the goods to a fishing line that was pulled into a cell.
Karl Jensen, 27 and his girlfriend, Lisa Mary Hutchinson, 26, both of
Ladbroke Grove, were sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court on Thursday.
Jensen was jailed for two and a half years and Hutchinson received a
12-month community order.
Jensen pleaded guilty to seven charges including conspiracy to supply a
class A drug and three counts of conveying an article into prison.Hutchinson admitted allowing her home to be used for the supply of class A and class B drugs. Police officers were alerted when prison staff spotted Jensen and Hutchinson in Artillery Lane near the prison in October last year. Staff watched on CCTV as Jensen tied a bag to a fishing line and it was hauled up into the prison.
The bag, which was found inside the cell, contained a five-inch blade, a
Smartwatch, a mobile phone, cannabis and cocaine.
Other smuggled goods included a McDonald's McMuffin, a plastic Kinder
Surprise egg containing five Sim cards, a bottle of vodka and USB
chargers.
Det Con Andy Griffin said the combination of items "could have been
deadly."
