France disrupts drone drug smuggling to prison
French gendarmerie forces have dismantled a drug smuggling network using drones into the Villefranche-sur-Saône prison, arresting five individuals—including a minor and four adults. In less than two months, the network carried out over 1,800 deliveries, resulting in the seizure of 500 grams of cannabis, six thousand euros, a vehicle, and the drone used. Investigations indicate that the network was highly organized, operating from two nearby take-off zones close to the prison, executing nighttime missions via drones that are hard to detect. These operations are part of a significant rise in drone flights over prisons, with France recording nearly 5,000 attempted flights in 2025 compared to 800 in 2024, alongside increased use of drone detection systems. This development reflects security concerns over drones being used to smuggle weapons and prohibited materials into correctional facilities.
