A cat carrying a saw and a mobile phone was "detained" as it
entered a prison gate in northeast Brazil, Brazilian media
have reported
Prison guards were surprised when they saw a white cat
crossing the main gate of the prison, its body wrapped with
tape. A closer look showed the feline also carried drills, an
earphone, a memory card, batteries and a phone charger.
All 263 detainees in the prison of Arapiraca, a city of
215,000 people in the state of Alagoas, are considered
suspect in the plot, which is being investigated by local
police.
"It's tough to find out who's responsible for the action as
the cat doesn't speak," a prison spokesperson told local
paper Estado de S.Paulo.
The cat was taken to an animal disease center to receive
medical care.
The incident took place on New Year's day but was first
reported by national media on Saturday (local time).
