A pigeon was caught trying to smuggle drugs into Kuwait after local authorities tracked the bird’s flight through neighbouring Iraq, then nabbed it on the border.
Security operatives in Kuwait have caught a bird (Pigeon) dubbed ‘rats of the sky’, with a backpack full of ecstasy tablets strapped to its back, in what is believed to be the newest drug smuggling technique used by traffickers.
According to a report by Dailymail, pictures of the pigeon after its ‘arrest’ show the grey bird and the bag on its back, and once the backpack was opened up, close to 200 small, white pills were seen spilling out.
The bird which was sent by traffickers had reportedly begun its smuggling route in Iraq and was tracked by authorities on its way to Kuwait.
The bird was caught by authorities after being spotted flying around an inner-city office block.
The plight of the pigeon has captured the attention of the internet, with users calling it a ‘flight risk’ and urging authorities not to grant it bail.
