Holey Moley

Moles and voles have been breaking into a high-security prison, setting off the very sensitive alarm systems

The country’s most secure prison – the East Jutland State Prison in Horsens – has been suffering from a serious intruder problem, which has caused its alarm system to go haywire.

Unwanted guests have been breaking into prison grounds and setting off the alarms repeatedly, reports public broadcaster DR.

And despite the facility being christened a super prison when it was opened in 2006, it appears its state-of-the-art security systems are no match for small moles and water voles.

‘We have a CCTV and security system that is very sensitive and reacts to the smallest thing, including moles and water voles. We are also located in a low-lying area where it can be difficult to drain the water and that also creates false alarms,’ said the prison’s head of security, Lars Richardy.

The prison is now working with the G4S alarm company to solve the problem, which mainly arises in very wet or dry weather.
