78-Year-Old Man Tries to Smuggle Hashish to Jailed Grandson
A grandfather has tried to smuggle a quantity of hashish to his jailed grandson, in the latest unusual attempt to breach prison security.
The 78-year-old man, identified as Sh. B., was arrested by police guards at the Zahle prison, an Internal Security Forces statement said.
“He tried to smuggle hashish to his 25-year-old grandson by hiding the quantity in a winter jacket,” the statement added.
On Saturday, guards at the Tyre prison thwarted an attempt to smuggle hashish hidden in a number of potatoes.
Bizarre attempts to smuggle drugs into prisons have increased in recent months.
On October 22, guards foiled a bid to smuggle hundreds of Benzhexol pills and an amount of hashish that were hidden in a pair of shoes into the al-Qobbeh prison in Tripoli.
In July, security forces at the Aley prison seized a quantity of hashish that was hidden in “21 pistachio shells.”
Earlier in the year, security guards at the Zahle prison foiled separate attempts to smuggle drugs in a toothpaste tube, meat pastries, meat sandwiches and apricots.

No dear Coolmec, they should jail him, his age doesn't exonerate him from this crime. Now both him and his grandson need the dope, right?

Well I admit it is wrong and it is illegal. But I still think it is hilarious, and this man is 78 yrs old the jails are overcrowded better jail the terrorists with the few places that are available.
Has anybody been keeping tabs on the different techniques attempted to try to smuggle stuff inside a prison? This would make great material for a movie...
