“Drug barons incarcerated in a Thai prison have been using toads, yes toads, to smuggle in mobile phones and SIM cards.
The Bangkok Post (via Spike Magazine) reports that ‘a number of mobile phones and SIM cards were seized during a surprise search at Bang Kwang prison in Nonthaburi province yesterday’.
Prison commander Sopon Thititam-prue said that smuggling attempts are commonplace, and certainly innovative.
‘We have found a mobile phone hidden in food, in pork leg stew,’ he said. ‘SIM cards were found inside a dried squid. One was found stuffed inside a dead toad which was thrown over the prison wall.’ ”
