A cat has been detained in the grounds of a jail in Brazil with contraband goods for prisoners strapped to its body with tape.

The white cat was apprehended crossing the main prison gate.

The incident took place at a jail in Arapiraca city, 250km (155 miles) south-west of Recife in Alagoas state.

The confiscated items included drill bits, files, a mobile phone and charger, plus earphones The cat was taken to a local animal centre.

The jail holds some 263 prisoners.

A prison spokesperson was quoted by local paper Estado de S. Paulo as saying: "It's tough to find out who's responsible for the action as the cat doesn't speak."

Officials said the items could be used to effect a means of escape or for communicating with criminals on the outside.

The incident took place at New Year, but the photo has only recently been released.

At least the cat would be in better hands now.

Cats don't do things like that

"It's tough to find out who's responsible for the action as the cat doesn't speak."

Whoever the person is that said the quote above is plain stupid.. If they would have more than 2 braincells, they could have followed the cat discreatly to see who it delivered to and catch the person behind it. They didn't, and are now trying to hide that fact by coming up with stupid excuses.

Considering we are talking about the law enforcement here, I am not surprised. :devroll:

That's Unfair for Cats

Saw this on BBC news on TV.

Turns out the cat is a regular at the prison, always in and out, the police even think it was raised by prisoners. :poke:

With that statement you show yourself to be even more stupid than that person. What do you think the cat was supposed to do? Walk into prison and travel through the corridor like a normal guard or a visitor? Lol.

Enjoyed reading that... would have been even more awesome if it was successful. Banter.

I'm pretty sure they were joking around. :P

In Russia the cat would have talked. :poke:

Next time use a bigger cat or put less stuff.

Which gives off the impression that there are cats out there that do speak.

[Primus]

Bad Cat.  :m4:

Brazilian cops have some sort of thing with TV cameras. They always try to look and talk like intellectuals when appearing on the media (and in 99% of the time, f**k up somehow).

The greatest thing to happen in that prison? : D

The fact that a cat was probably raised by inmates (convicted criminals) tells you something hehehe.
