Drug trafficking carrier pigeon detained in Costa Rica


"Narcopigeon" is now in a zoo after police detained the bird carrying 14g of cocaine and 14g of marijuana.
A homing pigeon was intercepted by police at a prison near San Jose,Costa Rica, after it was seen by a guard landing in the jail’s courtyard with a bag tied to its body.

On inspection, the black zipper bag was found to contain 14g of cocaine and the same amount of marijuana. Authorities suspect the bird was looked after and fed by an inmate in the medium-security wing of La Reforma prison, Costa Rica’s biggest penitentiary, before someone smuggled it out of the prison only to load it with illicit cargo ahead of its return route.
