Toy helicopter used to smuggle phones into jail

SAO PAULO - A plot to smuggle cellular phones into a prison yard using a remote-control model helicopter has been foiled after Brazilian police discovered the high-tech toy in the trunk of a car outside a maximum-security lockup.
Police say they confiscated the one-metre-long chopper near the Presidente Venceslau penitentiary in Sao Paulo state and arrested four people riding in the car.
Attached to the helicopter's base was a basket-like container with nine cellphones wrapped in a disposable diaper, a police statement said.
Another five cellphones were found inside the car trunk.
Police Sgt. Ricardo Jock told the Globo TV network: "The cellphones were obviously for jailed gang leaders who would use them to co-ordinate bank robberies and kidnappings and set up drug deals."
I'm glad to see criminals aren't just staying complacent and sticking to the predictable like hiding cell phones in their asses. I mean wheres the originality? These guys though, have it right. They get to smuggle in cell phones to organize murders and kidnappings while exploring the joys of youth they probably all missed out on. A true feel good story.
