Attempt to smuggle mobile phone intercepted

AN ATTEMPT to smuggle a mobile phone inside a candle into prison was intercepted last week.

The candle had been moulded around a phone and taken into the country’s maximum security prison by a visitor of inmate Timmy Rattigan, who is serving life imprisonment for murder.

But, as with the normal procedure when a visitor brings in something for an inmate, the candle had to go through an X-ray machine.
