Drone intercepted near Maryland prison, officials say

Two men have been arrested in what authorities say is the first known plot in Maryland involving a new type of crime: Using a drone to smuggle drugs, tobacco and pornography into a prison.

Moyer called the threat of contraband drone deliveries "an emerging problem" for the prison system, and said officials were researching ways to prevent it. He said drone-detecting technology would cost between $350,000 and $400,000 per institution.
