Two men tried to throw drugs and phone into Frankland Prison
Stephen Jones and Gary Muldoon were arrested after an incident outside Frankland Prison in Durham.
They entered their guilty pleas during a short hearing at Teesside Crown Court on Monday (February 9) morning.
Judge Francis Laird KC, the Recorder of Middlesbrough, said: “You have both pleaded guilty to serious offences and the overwhelming likelihood is that you will receive a prison sentence.
“However, I have been persuaded that there are matters that a pre-sentence report would assist in determining what that sentence is.”
Jones, 57, of St Marks Road, Liverpool, and 42-year-old Muldoon, of Helmsley Road, Liverpool, both pleaded guilty to trying to two charges of trying to convey prohibited items into Frankland Prison in Durham on November 27, 2024.
They were released on conditional bail until they are sentenced on Friday, March 20.
