Police are appealing to find three men after mobile phones were thrown over a high wall into Aylesbury jail.
Officers believe the trio might have vital information about the incidents at the Buckinghamshire prison, where the convicts have committed offences including violence, arson and drug dealing.
Two black wash bags containing contraband were thrown over the walls by a man who walked up to the jail in two separate occasions on August 10 at 3.10pm.
But on both occasions they were intercepted by prison wardens – who found they contained mobile phones among other items.
And on a third occasion a man failed three times to throw another package over the wall before running off.

HMP Aylesbury (pictured) was changed to become a Category C prison in October, where convicts are given the opportunity to develop skills that will help them in community life
Police Staff Investigator Mark Weatherstone, of the Prison Crime Investigation Team, said: ‘I am appealing to anybody who recognises these men to please get in touch with us as we believe they may have vital information about these incidents.
‘If you are any of the men pictured, please come forward as soon as possible.’
HMP Aylesbury was changed to become a Category C prison in October, where convicts are given the opportunity to develop skills that will help them in community life.
It used to hold men aged 18-21 accused of violent crimes and serving long sentences, but was switched due to prison population pressures.
Category C are raining and resettlement prisons, and are home to most British convicts.
Their occupants include those with a current or previous sentence of 12 months or more for violence, a threat of violence, arson, sex offences, drug dealing or importation.
It can also include those with a history of absconding, failing to surrender or breaching a bail condition.
Prisoners are categorised based on their risk of escape, potential harm to the public should they escape and the threat they pose to the control and stability of a prison.
