CHISINAU, Moldova — A furry felon was nabbed toting baggies of contraband to inmates, and it wasn’t catnip.
Guards became suspicious about the feline, who routinely entered and left the prison through a hole in a fence, when they noticed its odd collar. On closer inspection, they found two packets of marijuana attached to it.
The Department of Penitentiary Institutions said Friday that someone in the village of Pruncul was using the kitty as a courier to supply inmates with dope at the local prison.
Whoever the humans involved are, this isn’t even the first cat courier caught at a lockup this year.
In June, guards caught a cat carrying cellphones and chargers taped to its belly to inmates in Penal Colony No. 1 near the city of Syktyvkar in northern Russia.
