A plot to smuggle drugs, mobile phones and weapons into a prison by flying them in on a drone failed after the operator crashed the remote-controlled aircraft into a jail wall.
一個用無人機偷運毒品、手機、武器到監獄的陰謀因操控者把遙控飛行器撞在了監獄墻上而以失敗告終。

The device was spotted by guards at HMP Bedford after it crash landed into razor wire on top of the prison walls in the first incident of its kind.
無人機撞墻后跌落到高墻上的鐵絲網上，被貝爾福德女王監獄（HMP Bedford）的警衛發現。這是史上首次無人機偷運事件。

Guards quickly removed the drone - a DJI Phantom 2, which costs up to ￡900 - and found a package attached containing class A drugs, a knife, screwdriver and mobile phones.
警衛迅速移走了無人機DJI幻影2——價值高達900美元，還發現了綁在無人機上的裝有若干一級毒品、一把小刀、螺絲刀和手機的包裹。

The incident was revealed after the drone crash-landed at the 500-capacity category B prison on March 6.
3月6日，無人機在這個容納500人的B類監獄緊急降落，隨后事件被披露。

Prison bosses around the UK are now on high alert for copycat schemes using the remote-controlled aircraft.
英國各監獄高層現已對利用遙控飛行器的類似陰謀提高警戒。

A prison source, who asked not to be named, said: "This is the first time I have heard of a drone being used to get banned items into a prison.
一位匿名監獄爆料人提到：“無人機攜帶違禁品進監獄，這種事我還是頭一回聽說。”

"Whoever was flying it obviously needs a bit more practice as they've crashed it into to top of the wall, but it's put everyone on high alert that this is something that could happen again."
“不管是誰操控的，顯然他應該多加練習，畢竟他們讓無人機撞到了高墻上。不過大家還是保持了高度警惕，因為此類事件很可能再次發生。”

The drone used in the smuggling bid can stay up in the air for just under an hour and has a range of just over 2,600ft - meaning the person flying it can stay out of sight of the prison.
用于此次走私的無人機可以在空中飛行的時間不超過一小時，飛行范圍約2600英尺——這意味著操控者所處位置可以在監獄可視范圍外。

Smugglers have targeted the prison on numerous occasions in the past, but usually throw packages over the walls for prisoners to pick up on their exercise breaks.
之前，走私犯已經有很多次機會向這個監獄下手，但通常都是把貨物扔進墻內，讓犯人在運動休息時間撿走。

Drone experts have said operators need a "high level of skill" to be able to fly drones with pinpoint accuracy.
無人機專家指出，操控者需要“高超技藝”才能使無人機具備高度精準性。

A Bedfordshire Police spokesman said nobody had been arrested in connection with the incident, but added: "We were called to reports that a small drone had been discovered alongside a package in netting above a perimeter wall at HMP Bedford at 11.30pm on March 6.
貝爾福德警局發言人表示，還沒有逮捕到事件相關人員，但他補充說：“我們接到通報，稱3月6日晚11:30，有個攜帶著包裹的小型無人機在監獄圍墻的網上被發現。”

"Both the device and the contents of the package are currently being examined, and investigations are on-going to identify the offender. We are working closely with the prison to investigate this incident."
“裝置及其攜帶的包裹現已接受檢查，對違法者的調查仍在繼續。我們正和監獄緊密合作，調查此次事件。”

A Prison Service spokesman said the package was "quickly intercepted by vigilant staff".
一位監獄服役發言人稱那包裹“被警惕的獄警迅速攔截”。
