Cat That Was Caught Smuggling Drugs Escapes From A Maximum Security Holding Cell
A cat in Sri Lanka has somehow ended up at the center of a prison drug-smuggling story, and the details are as bizarre as they sound. What started as a routine security issue at Welikada Prison quickly turned into a headline about heroin, SIM cards, and a very unexpected suspect. Then came the part nobody saw coming, the animal reportedly escaped from a detention area while police were watching it, adding another strange twist to an already messy situation.
Now the prison is dealing with a story that feels almost too odd to be real, and the internet has plenty to say about it. Read on.
A cat imprisoned in a high-security penitentiary in Sri Lanka has miraculously escaped
Two SIM cards, almost two grams of heroin, and a memory chip were discovered in a tiny plastic bag on the prisoner's neck. On Sunday, the criminal cat escaped from a detention area where the police were watching it. Jail authorities gave no direct comments on this episode.
The police believe that the drug dealers who trained the feline are from the same cartel that previously used an eagle to bring in narcotics. An animal arrest is not common in Sri Lanka, but the police officers were hoping that the cat could lead them to the smugglers’ hideout, regional media reports imply.
Allegedly, the four-legged criminal mastermind escaped from its cell through a fence when jail staff came to bring her food.
The feline was detained for drug possession
Internet users had various versions of the events that took place in that prison: “Ever thought that maybe he was forced to do it because his kittens were held hostage?” one Facebook user wonders. “Plot twist… the cat is the drug lord,” another Facebook user noted.
This echoes the “Klepto Kitty” case, where a cat burglar with a knife was caught on CCTV.
This person thinks the cat may have had a very different motive.
Here’s how people reacted:
Wait, it gets wilder: see how gang members used the tatted Sphynx during a Mexican prison break.
