POLICE CAUGHT THIS DRUG MULE RED HANDED – AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A PIGEON?

Of course, back in the days before rampant technology, the pigeon was crucial. For communication. For carrying secrets. For moving around and through enemy lines while always returning to the one who sent them. Knowing for their ability to “home,” these birds were valued for what they could do that man couldn’t. Fast forward a few wars and now the specialty of this species is being put to a nefarious use.

Recently, a pigeon was ‘detained” wearing a cute little bird backpack. You can see it right now in your head, can’t you? The standard grey blue feathers accented by a little, more than likely handmade carrying case. Inside? Well, that’s where things get interesting. It wasn’t plans on an enemy assault. It wasn’t encrypted messages for military movements. No, it was something completely.

Pigeons have become the new best way to smuggle drugs into wherever you need them to go.

A pigeon has reportedly been caught by customs officials carrying illegal drugs in miniature backpack in Kuwait.

A fabric pocket attached to the back of the bird was found to contain a total of 178 pills, reports say.

Drug smugglers apparently used the animal to fly across the border from neighbouring Iraq.

It was intercepted above a building near Kuwait’s customs department, according to Al Arabiya.

It is thought the drugs were a form of ketamine, although this has yet to be verified, an Al-Rai journalist claimed.

Local media in the region has widely reported the case and apparently officials have known for some time that smugglers were using pigeons to transport drugs.

This is not the first time a pigeon has been caught carrying drugs.

In 2015 guards captured a pigeon flying cocaine and cannabis into a prison in Costa Rica.

The bird was caught as it flew 14 grams of cocaine and 14 grams of cannabis into the facility stuffed into a pouch attached to its body.
