ISF Foils Another Creative Bid to Smuggle Drugs into Jail
A sneakers has been used in the latest unusual attempt to smuggle drugs into a Lebanese prison, the Internal Security Forces announced on Friday.
“While searching items sent to inmates by their families, the guards of the Zahle prison managed to seize a quantity of hashish that was creatively hidden in the bottom of a pair of athletic shoes,” the ISF said in a statement.
The drugs were brought by the 28-year-old Syrian wife of one of the prisoners, the ISF added.
The woman was arrested and an investigation got underway under the supervision of the relevant judicial authorities, the ISF said.
Several prisons in Lebanon have in recent years witnessed bizarre drug smuggling attempts involving the use of potatoes, toothpaste, meat pastries, meat sandwiches, apricots and even pistachios.
