A 55-year-old mother has joined her son in prison after admitting to trying to smuggle cannabis into prison on Friday.
Maria Farrugia, 55, from Santa Luċija, pleaded guilty to drug possession and trafficking as she visited her son, who is serving time for theft and drugs offences.
The cannabis was found hidden in her private parts during a search by two women officers. She also pleaded guilty to committing a crime during the operative period of a suspended jail term.
Magistrate Anthony Vella deferred the case to May 31 for sentencing.
