A package containing three mobile phones was found in the Marijampolė prison area on February 27.

On February 27, at around 8:40 AM, a package was discovered in the Marijampolė prison territory, specifically in a yard adjacent to the perimeter of a restricted zone. The package was wrapped in white adhesive tape, raising suspicion about its content. Upon inspection, authorities found three mobile phones inside the package, indicating a potential smuggling attempt into the prison. The incident occurred without the individuals who threw the package over the prison wall being apprehended or recorded by surveillance.
