Prisoners Smuggle In Stuff with a Toy Chopper

Posted by Alex in Crime & Law, Gadget, Toy & Video Games on May 26, 2009 at 12:21 pm


Remember the story of how prisoners in Brazil have been smuggling in cell phones using pigeons?

Well, that’s low tech compared to what these other prisoners did:

Four suspects were arrested late on Sunday outside a maximum security facility in the southern town of Presidente Venceslau in Brazil’s Sao Paulo state after the mini-chopper, 14 mobile telephones and the equivalent of 500 dollars in cash were found in their rented car, according to reports in local media.

Note that this is also in Brazil: what’s up with that? Can’t they smuggle things the good ol’ fashioned way – in their butts – just like all other prisoners do in the rest of the world?

    Hey Alex,

    As a Brazilian, I can say, they still use the old fashioned way! But have you seen the size of a Nokia N95 or an Iphone? Not mention the charger units! :-)

    Regards,

    Marcelo

    That didn't come out as I expected... :-)

    Brazilian here too.

    Smuggling the old-fashioned way is not the worst part. The problem is to disguise the tickles when the vibracall is on.

    The problem is that hooping contraband is so cliché, these days surveillance these days have ass cams set up recording 24/7.

    Another Brazilian here.

    I guess it is cheaper to use the chopter. And the police officers are too expensive to bribe.

    Three pigeons and a mini chopper fly into a prison bar and... (insert some (prison) bar joke here)

    What dopes! Didn't they realize what a friggin' racket one of those things makes? Like a giant bumble bee turned up to eleven.

    I heard that the next trial will use hobbits, a flying dog and mentos + coke propulsion kits.

    Three pigeons and a mini chopper fly into a prison bar and…

    One pidgeon says to the other, "In my day, you needed a crow to make a phone caw."

    I think you just invented a plot to the next Disney movie.
