A 30-year-old man is jailed for nearly four years after making three unsuccessful attempts to throw a parcel containing drugs and a mobile phone over the perimeter wall of HMP Hull in East Yorkshire. Footage cited in reporting shows him trying to get the items into the prison yard, but the attempts fail.
The reports identify the defendant as Joshua Smith. They describe the parcel as worth about £12,000 and state that he is sentenced to a prison term just under four years. While the outlets focus on the on-camera attempts, they agree on the core facts: the target was the prison, the items were drugs and a phone, the man tried multiple times, and he receives a custodial sentence.
Both accounts frame the case as a breach of prison security and indicate that the attempted supply of contraband leads to conviction and sentencing. No other differing angles are presented across the provided sources.
