In a bizarre incident that caught attention in Costa Rica, prison guards managed to thwart a drug smuggling operation led by a cat this time. The cat entered the prison located in Bocas del Toro Canton in the northeast of the country at night, carrying on its body two bags secured with adhesive tape containing 235 grams of marijuana and 67 grams of cocaine. The Ministry of Justice announced in an official statement that the cat was caught "red-handed" while climbing the prison fence, and a video clip of the incident showed a guard climbing the fence to catch the cat, which was black and white, while police officers carefully removed the drugs from its frail body. The ministry confirmed that the swift intervention of the guards prevented these substances from reaching inside the prison, and the cat was later handed over to an animal welfare organization. The incident sheds light on the increasingly bizarre methods used in attempts to smuggle drugs into prisons, while also highlighting the vigilance of security agencies in dealing with such unexpected cases.
