Movies involving heists and getting out of jail surely are fun to watch; however, what these two men from New Jersey did will truly surprise you.
The two men -- Nicolo Denichili and Adrian Goolcharran -- were smuggling items inside a federal prison in Burlington County called FCI Fort Dix. The prison is a low-security federal correctional institution that currently holds over 3000 inmates.
These two culprits smuggled items like marijuana, cell phones, steroids, syringes, SIM cards etc, as mentioned by the US Attorney¡¯s Office, District of New Jersey. How, you ask? With the help of drones!
The culprits would drop the package with the help of a fishing line on to designated spots to go undetected.? This racket had been running for nearly two years.?
Previous reports reveal such instances can be dated back to July 2018. According to officials, the drone culprits have managed to make a total of seven drops.
According to authorities, the offenders would co-ordinate for drop locations through phone calls. This time, however, the authorities were all set, as soon as the shipment dropped, the authorities chased the culprits right at the launch site.?
The offenders tried to flee the spot. While one managed to run away in time, the other hid himself in a ditch, only to be arrested later.
Out of the two, Denichilio was arrested and was later released on a $100,000 bond. Goolcharran (who is also known as Adrian Ajoha and Adrian Ahoda) is still on the run.?
Both the men are charged with one count of smuggling contraband into prison (for which they can get maximum one-year prison sentence with $100,000 fine)? and conspiring to smuggle contraband and defraud the United States (for which the charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison with a maximum fine of $250,000).
