A female prison officer who attempted to smuggle drugs into Lindholme Prison near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, using a Pot Noodle container, is among ten individuals sentenced for their involvement in a criminal drug conspiracy.

The scheme was exposed when police discovered the drugs in the snack pot belonging to prison officer Victoria Sked. Following her arrest, a six-year investigation was launched by South Yorkshire Police into the smuggling ring.

It was found that substances including MDMA, steroids, cannabis, and spice were being smuggled into the prison along with mobile phones, facilitated by the corrupt officer.

The operation was uncovered after officers searched Sked and found a Pot Noodle containing two cling film packages of cannabis on 20 August 2018.
