Two women have been caught flying drugs into a prison in plastic birds.

They were arrested after using a drone disguised as a crow to smuggle drugs, tobacco and cellphones over the walls.

Melanie Jean Worthington, 38, and Kassy Marie Cole, 41, were caught in the act.

They now face multiple charges after the alleged offences in Grant Parish, Louisiana, officials said.

Worthington, of Joshua, Texas, was charged with taking contraband into a penal institution and possession of methamphetamine and marijuana with the intent to distribute.

Cole, of Hurst, Texas, was charged with taking contraband into a penal institution and possession of methamphetamine and synthetic marijuana with the intent to distribute.

Authorities said Cole also had an outstanding warrant at the time of her arrest, as reported by Need To Know.

The women also admitted to being paid $40,000 to smuggle the items, according to the authorities.

Last year, police arrested two men for using a meth cannon to shoot $112,000 worth of tobacco and $89,500 worth of methamphetamine over the walls of another Louisiana prison.
