Cat Caught Smuggling Drugs into Costa Rican Prison

Costa Rican authorities intercepted a drug smuggling operation with an unusual accomplice: a cat. The feline was discovered by a prison guard at the Pococí prison, carrying two packages of illegal substances attached to its body. The quick thinking guard and his colleagues apprehended the cat before it reached the prison's interior. "We were shocked to see the cat carrying such a thing," stated a prison official who wished to remain anonymous. The cat, now safe, has been transferred to the care of the National Service of Agri-food Health and Quality. The incident highlights the creative methods used in drug trafficking and raises concerns about animal welfare. Authorities are investigating who trained the cat for this purpose. The cat's story serves as a reminder of the lengths criminals go to and the unexpected ways law enforcement must adapt.
