A still picture from CCTV of one of the throw overs . Picture: GMP Police are fighting back against illegal throw overs at prisons. Operation Dragonfire is underway amid concern about parcels containing illegal items such as mobile phones, drugs and weapons being thrown into jails. One site that has seen recent instances of items being thrown over the walls is HMP Forest Bank in Salford, Greater Manchester. On Saturday, June 26 at 11am, five men in balaclavas were seen on CCTV throwing items over the prison walls, before making off on foot into Clifton Country Park. The following month, at around 10am on Saturday 31 July, a group of four men wearing masks approached the outer perimeter of the prison. However, upon seeing police patrols approaching, they left the area on foot and headed into the country park, with one offender leaving his orange bike behind.
