# A video on social media showing a cat smuggling drugs into a prison in Costa Rica has gone viral. Authorities intercepted the cat at the Pococi penitentiary, carrying 236 grams of marijuana, 68 grams of heroin and rolling papers strapped to its back. Officials seized the drugs and turned the cat over to the country’s animal health services. The use of cats as mules is part of a growing trend among smugglers.
