Woman uses balloons in bra to sneak drugs into Kalgoorlie-Boulder prison while visiting incarcerated partner

A woman used balloons in her bra to try to sneak drugs into a Kalgoorlie-Boulder prison while visiting her incarcerated partner. Fyona Sheree Bradshaw appeared in Kalgoorlie Magistrates Court on Monday charged with being in possession of prohibited drugs and bringing an article into prison. Police prosecutor Nat Parkyn told the court Bradshaw was caught bringing drugs into Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison while being strip-searched during a visit to her partner in July. Two balloons were found hidden in her bra which First Const. Parkyn said contained two bags of meth weighing 1.35g. Bradshaw was taken to Kalgoorlie police station where she told police she was “forced” to sneak them in “otherwise I would have been killed”. During the appearance on Monday, Bradshaw entered pleas of guilty to both the count of possessing prohibited drugs with intent to sell or supply, and the count of bringing an article into prison with the intent to breach order, security or good government. Magistrate Paul Lyons said Bradshaw could attend Hope Community Services to receive counselling. The matter is due to come before the court for sentencing in November.
