An amount of heroin and half a bottle of methadone were found under the dashboard of a van that was in prison to provide electronic services at around 3.30pm.

The government said the person who was driving the van has been arrested and the police are investigating.

The find was made a few days two prison officials were suspended earlier this week after they tested positive to drugs.

The Home Affairs Ministry said the prisons were being given priority by his ministry for the distribution of drugs in prison to come to an end once and for all.

It was only in this way that prisoners could be reformed.
