Costa Rican Prison Cat's Drug-Smuggling Attempt Foiled
Costa Rican Prison Cat Busted in Unusual Drug Smuggling Operation A cat was recently apprehended at the Pococí Penitentiary in Costa Rica while attempting to smuggle a significant quantity of drugs into the prison. The incident, captured on video by prison officials, shows the cat with packages containing approximately 236 grams of marijuana and 68 grams of heroin strapped to its body. "This is a truly remarkable case," stated a spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice and Peace, adding, "It demonstrates the lengths to which drug traffickers will go to supply inmates." The cat, now affectionately nicknamed "Narcomichi" by online users, was unharmed and is currently under the care of the National Animal Health Service. Authorities are investigating to identify those responsible for using the cat in this smuggling attempt. The incident underscores the challenges faced by prison authorities in preventing drug trafficking. The successful interception of the cat and drugs highlights the vigilance of prison staff in Pococí. The investigation continues, and the authorities are committed to bringing those responsible to justice.
