Four of Queensland’s high security prisons were reported to have gone into lockdown on Sunday night as drones were illegally flown over head.

Brisbane Correctional Centre, Brisbane Women's Correctional centre, Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre and Wolston Correctional Centre were the four forced into lockdown.

QLD police are now investigating why the drones were flown over and the prisons have now been returned to normal after it was ensured that no goods had been dropped in.
