Drones have locked down a south-east Queensland prison for the second time in less than a month, according to a spokeswoman for Queensland Corrective Services.
Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre, located in Darra, was locked down and searched on Tuesday after two drones were seen "flying near or over the prison”.
Trials began last month at Woodford Correctional Centre to detect drones and track drones' source using radio waves.
Drone laws currently prohibit the use of drones over restricted areas and areas where emergency operations are underway, and require drones to only be flown during the day and within sight of the operator.
