A plot to smuggle drugs, mobile phones and weapons into a prison by flying them in on a drone failed after the operator crashed the remote-controlled aircraft into a jail wall.
一個(gè)用無(wú)人機(jī)偷運(yùn)毒品、手機(jī)、武器到監(jiān)獄的陰謀因操控者把遙控飛行器撞在了監(jiān)獄墻上而以失敗告終。

The device was spotted by guards at HMP Bedford after it crash landed into razor wire on top of the prison walls in the first incident of its kind.
無(wú)人機(jī)撞墻后跌落到高墻上的鐵絲網(wǎng)上，被貝爾福德女王監(jiān)獄（HMP Bedford）的警衛(wèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)。這是史上首次無(wú)人機(jī)偷運(yùn)事件。

Guards quickly removed the drone - a DJI Phantom 2, which costs up to ￡900 - and found a package attached containing class A drugs, a knife, screwdriver and mobile phones.
警衛(wèi)迅速移走了無(wú)人機(jī)DJI幻影2——價(jià)值高達(dá)900美元，還發(fā)現(xiàn)了綁在無(wú)人機(jī)上的裝有若干一級(jí)毒品、一把小刀、螺絲刀和手機(jī)的包裹。

The incident was revealed after the drone crash-landed at the 500-capacity category B prison on March 6.
3月6日，無(wú)人機(jī)在這個(gè)容納500人的B類監(jiān)獄緊急降落，隨后事件被披露。

Prison bosses around the UK are now on high alert for copycat schemes using the remote-controlled aircraft.
英國(guó)各監(jiān)獄高層現(xiàn)已對(duì)利用遙控飛行器的類似陰謀提高警戒。

A prison source, who asked not to be named, said: "This is the first time I have heard of a drone being used to get banned items into a prison.
一位匿名監(jiān)獄爆料人提到：“無(wú)人機(jī)攜帶違禁品進(jìn)監(jiān)獄，這種事我還是頭一回聽說(shuō)?！?

"Whoever was flying it obviously needs a bit more practice as they've crashed it into to top of the wall, but it's put everyone on high alert that this is something that could happen again."
“不管是誰(shuí)操控的，顯然他應(yīng)該多加練習(xí)，畢竟他們讓無(wú)人機(jī)撞到了高墻上。不過(guò)大家還是保持了高度警惕，因?yàn)榇祟愂录芸赡茉俅伟l(fā)生。”

The drone used in the smuggling bid can stay up in the air for just under an hour and has a range of just over 2,600ft - meaning the person flying it can stay out of sight of the prison.
用于此次走私的無(wú)人機(jī)可以在空中飛行的時(shí)間不超過(guò)一小時(shí)，飛行范圍約2600英尺——這意味著操控者所處位置可以在監(jiān)獄可視范圍外。

Smugglers have targeted the prison on numerous occasions in the past, but usually throw packages over the walls for prisoners to pick up on their exercise breaks.
之前，走私犯已經(jīng)有很多次機(jī)會(huì)向這個(gè)監(jiān)獄下手，但通常都是把貨物扔進(jìn)墻內(nèi)，讓犯人在運(yùn)動(dòng)休息時(shí)間撿走。

Drone experts have said operators need a "high level of skill" to be able to fly drones with pinpoint accuracy.
無(wú)人機(jī)專家指出，操控者需要“高超技藝”才能使無(wú)人機(jī)具備高度精準(zhǔn)性。

A Bedfordshire Police spokesman said nobody had been arrested in connection with the incident, but added: "We were called to reports that a small drone had been discovered alongside a package in netting above a perimeter wall at HMP Bedford at 11.30pm on March 6.
貝爾福德警局發(fā)言人表示，還沒有逮捕到事件相關(guān)人員，但他補(bǔ)充說(shuō)：“我們接到通報(bào)，稱3月6日晚11:30，有個(gè)攜帶著包裹的小型無(wú)人機(jī)在監(jiān)獄圍墻的網(wǎng)上被發(fā)現(xiàn)?！?

"Both the device and the contents of the package are currently being examined, and investigations are on-going to identify the offender. We are working closely with the prison to investigate this incident."
“裝置及其攜帶的包裹現(xiàn)已接受檢查，對(duì)違法者的調(diào)查仍在繼續(xù)。我們正和監(jiān)獄緊密合作，調(diào)查此次事件?！?

A Prison Service spokesman said the package was "quickly intercepted by vigilant staff".
一位監(jiān)獄服役發(fā)言人稱那包裹“被警惕的獄警迅速攔截”。
