The feline felon was stopped outside the Nueva Esperanza
jail, which houses more than 1,700 prisoners, in the Caribbean province of
Colon, north of the capital Panama City.
“The animal had a cloth tied around its neck” that contained
wrapped packages of white powder, leaves and “vegetable matter”, according to
Andres Gutierrez, head of the
Panama Penitentiary System.
This is not the first such attempted critter crime.
Prisoners use food to lure animals to them, once the creatures
had been loaded with drugs by people on the outside.
The office of the drugs prosecutor of Colon said on Twitter
it had opened an investigation into the use of animals for smuggling illegal
substances into the Nueva Esperanza Prison.
