A grandfather who tried to catapult cannabis, cocaine and tablets over a wall into Cloverhill Prison met “the wrong people at the wrong time and did something very stupid”, a court heard.

Noel Darby (47) was caught on CCTV throwing the drugs, in what his lawyer described as “not a sophisticated operation”.
