Drug Smuggling Pigeon Caught By Police

Drug Smuggling Pigeon

A carrier pigeon has been caught by police, as it attempted to smuggle drugs into a prison. The bird was caught as it attempted to fly into a jail in the city of Bucaramanga in Colombia, complete with 45g stash of marijuana and cocaine on its back.

It would seem that the package of drugs was just a little to heavy for the pigeon to carry out its mission. It just could not get over the prison walls.

At this moment in time the bird is being held in a local police ecological police unit [and will no doubt be released without charge].

Although, it all may be a bit funny of course, it is no laughing matter for authorities, who are continually battling to stop each new ingenious attempt by inmates to get drugs into prison. Police have said that carrier pigeons have been used in the past to carry sim cards and even cell phones into prison in the past.
