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 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.
 
We've got nothing. No name. No id. No other alias. No prints on file. The straps were custom fit. Nothing in his satchel but files and fur.

I hope that guy's boss isn't one of those assholes who takes "no excuses".

Seriously though the guys behind this could have used something that wasn't so visible, that foil wrap stands out a mile.

Poor cat was stitched up.

Put a tracking device on the cat, or if they don't have enough money to buy one, just follow it back to its place of origin.
