A judge hit out at the 'scourge' of drug and mobile phone smuggling into prisons as he sentenced a man found with cannabis, a drone, a machete and phones at his home.

The case followed a 'failed attempt' by smugglers with a drone to 'convey prohibited articles' into HMP Hindley , near Wigan, in May last year, the judge added.

The fingerprints of Rogent Daley, 19, were 'found on the contraband seized by the police' at Hindley, which ultimately led police back to his home on Staycott Street in Moss Side, Manchester Crown Court was told.

The court heard police raided Daley's home in October last year on the basis of 'the intelligence that they had gathered about his criminality'.
