NSW prison staff want drone guns to stop contraband drops

The New South Wales government has confirmed it is actively procuring counter-drone technology for state correctional facilities. The move comes in response to prison staff demands for drone guns to effectively stop illegal contraband drops from entering facilities.

The urgency for the new security measures follows a series of security breaches involving alleged drug smuggling attempts. Specifically, authorities noted that at least two such attempts have occurred within a single fortnight.
