Suspects 'not detained or recorded', but the package was unpacked by non-criminals

A package containing three mobile phones was found in a prison yard in Lithuania, with the suspects who threw it over the fence not being apprehended.

On February 27, around 8:40 AM, a package wrapped in white adhesive tape was discovered in the yard of a prison, situated near a restricted zone perimeter in Lithuania. Upon opening the package, three mobile phones were found inside. This incident raised concerns about prison security and the ability to smuggle prohibited items into correctional facilities.

The individuals responsible for throwing the package over the prison fence were not detained or recorded at the time of the incident, which raises questions about the effectiveness of the surveillance and monitoring systems in place at the facility. Authorities emphasized that they are investigating the circumstances surrounding this event to prevent future occurrences.

This event highlights ongoing challenges faced by correctional facilities in Lithuania, particularly in managing security risks associated with contraband smuggling. The discovery of mobile phones in prisons poses significant risks, including facilitating further criminal activities and orchestrating operations from within, which underscores the need for enhanced security measures and vigilance within the penal system.
