Underpants scam lands prisoner in trouble

Nobody could accuse Richard Hurlston of being unprepared before his jail sentence for breaching a court order. He sewed a small pocket into his underpants and filled it with three mobile phones, five SIM cards, a bottle of pills and some cannabis. Hurlston, 32, wore a pair of boxer shorts over the pants and got past security guards at magistrates courts.



He managed to get away with it for 24 hours until staff at Dorchester prison saw him behaving suspiciously and he was strip searched. Hurlston pleaded guilty on Friday to conveying items into prison and possessing cannabis. He will be sentenced later.
