A 29-year-old woman, Shevaghn Samuels, from 11 Hogg Street, Albouystown, was arrested on Monday, July 7, 2025, while attempting to smuggle nine SIM cards into the Camp Street Prison for her incarcerated friend, Ray Smith.
The incident occurred around 9:15 AM during a routine search of items she had brought for Smith. Officers discovered the SIM cards cleverly concealed inside a tube of Colgate toothpaste, a tactic likely intended to evade detection during security checks.
Following the discovery, Samuels was handed over to the police and is expected to face court proceedings shortly.
In response to the incident, Director of Prisons Nicklon Elliot issued a stern warning to the public about the serious risks associated with smuggling contraband into prison facilities. He emphasized that such actions not only jeopardize the safety of inmates and prison staff but also undermine the integrity of the correctional system.
Elliot reiterated that the consequences of smuggling contraband are severe and can lead to significant legal repercussions for those involved.
