A topless young man failed three times to throw a £12,000 parcel of illegal drugs into a prison.

Joshua Smith, 30, left little to the imagination as he made unsuccessful attempts to get the goods over the brick wall into HMP Hull, East Yorkshire.

He has now been handed a prison sentence of nearly four years after officers found a mixture of Class A and B drugs and a mobile phone inside the package.

In footage, Smith is seen showcasing his full physique on a hot summer's day as he launches the black parcel over a wall.

He runs across the road with his shirt in his hand before hurling the object towards the Category B men's prison.

After failing to make the throw his trousers begin to slip down as he jogs along the path by a busy road and into the car park.

Smith swaggers towards the building and retrieves the package before trying and failing twice more.

However, his fourth throw is successful and Smith throws his shirt over his back before sauntering out of the car park.

The package was immediately spotted by a prison guard who watched it drop over the wall and reported the incident, which took place on July 11, last year.

Smith, who is homeless, was tracked down and arrested.

He initially denied throwing the parcel but soon changed his answers to 'no comment'.
