News Toronto. Drones have become a major problem for Canadian prisons. Smugglers use them to deliver weapons, drugs, and other contraband to inmates. Now police and correctional staff in Kingston, Ontario, have formed a team to fight back. Dan Takama reports. A basketball stuffed with tobacco and cell phones, bundles of knives and drugs camouflaged with fake grass. Just some of the contraband drone pilots have tried to smuggle behind bars in Kingston. Rival gangs trying to control who can fly into prisons. Sergeant Jonas Bonham is head of the local police intelligence unit, which has teamed up with correction staff to tackle drone smuggling.

The task force is the first of its kind in Canada. Kingston is a prison town, so it just made sense for us to join forces. Correctional Service Canada says there were more than a thousand reports of drone activity at prisons across the country last year. It's big business, as even idols. like pot or tobacco legal on the street are worth 10 to 25 times more inside. Investigators say they've managed to cut the number of local drone drops in half. They're hoping other Canadian law enforcement agencies can consider assembling a drone task force of their own.
