Two packages with mobile phones and SIM cards were discovered in the Pravieniškės prison area, raising security concerns.

On March 12, 2026, at around 10:35 AM, the Lithuanian prison service reported an incident at the Pravieniškės 2nd prison, where two packages were thrown into the facility's territory. One package was found in the protection perimeter area containing three mobile phones and two SIM cards, while another was located in the prison sauna area, holding three additional mobile phones and three SIM cards. This alarming event has prompted an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the package drops.

The discovery of these items poses serious concerns regarding the security protocols in place at the facility. Mobile phones and SIM cards are typically banned in prisons due to their potential use in facilitating communication between inmates and the outside world. This incident implies that there may be vulnerabilities in the prison's perimeter security and raises questions about how the packages were delivered without detection.

Authorities are currently looking into how these packages were able to bypass security measures and what this means for prison management going forward. The investigation aims to prevent similar occurrences in the future and reinforce security procedures to keep contraband out of the prison system.
