Two men have been arrested following reports of suspicious activity around an Essex prison.
Police were called to Chelmsford Prison - which is based in Springfield Road - on Saturday to respond to reports of men throwing items into the prison.
Officers detained and arrested two men after they found a “large amount of drug paraphernalia”.

A photo of the drugs which were found was posted on the Essex Police - Chelmsford Facebook page where officers thanked prison staff for assisting them.
