Pharmacy worker who snuck drugs into prison jailed

 A 61-year-old pharmacy technician who sneaked drugs and SIM cards into a prison has been jailed.


Tanya Petrie from Worle in north Somerset took drugs wrapped in cling-film - including cocaine - into HMP Bristol where she worked after collecting a package from a wheelie bin on 17 October 2023.


Petrie was jailed for more than six years on 16 February after a jury at Bristol Crown Court found her guilty of conspiring to bring or convey a list A prohibited article in a prison.


Det Insp Tim Seaman, from Avon and Somerset Police's serious and organised crime team, said the officers "uncovered and dismantled a criminal conspiracy operating both inside and outside the prison walls".
