Sweep of Kerobokan Prison turns up the usual stuff: drugs, weapons, tools

Military and police conducted a joint raid at Bali’s Kerobokan Prison on Tuesday night and the sweep pretty much found the usual things one would find in a prison. 

The raid, conducted from 8-10 pm last night turned up a number of sharp weapons including small knives and a cutter. Tools were also reportedly found like a hammer and several screwdrivers, according to Tribun Bali

Dozens of mobile phones along with narcotics—in the form of methamphetamine—were discovered too. 

Less frightening items found, but those still officially prohibited by the prison, were a television, speakers, a mini air cooler, a DVD player, and cash.
