Parrot “Arrested” For Alerting Traffickers


Picture
         A parrot in the Colombian city of Barranquilla has been "arrested" for allegedly tipping off members of a local drug cartel during a police raid.
         Authorities say Lorenzo the parrot had been specially trained to alert narcotics traffickers. As it spotted uniformed officers, the bird reportedly yelled out, "Run, run -- you're going to get caught," in perfect Spanish. Drug cartels are often using these birds as lookouts because these birds know when someone is near long before the dogs even have a clue
         There are hundreds of such parrot in use by the drug cartels.
         Despite the guard bird's best efforts, officials seized more than 200 weapons, a stolen motorcycle and a large quantity of marijuana in the raid, according to AOL News. At least four men and two other birds were also arrested in the raids. As for Lorenzo himself, he's now in the hands of environmental authorities.

Another Parrot Spends Five Days Under Police ‘Interrogation’

        A parrot spent five days under police ‘interrogation’ in an Argentina prison.
        The judge ordered Pepo the parrot to be held in custody until he told police who was his real owner. Two neighbors, Jorge Machado and R Vega, were disputing ownership of the bird.
        Judge Osvaldo Carlos decided the parrot should be kept in prison until he said the name of his owner.
        After five days, Pepo said Jorge’s name, and the parrot also sung the anthem of his favourite football team San Lorenzo.
        Mr Machado, the real owner said: ‘I knew he wasn’t going to let me down, he is a real friend and we support the same football team’.

Pigeon Arrested For Smuggling

        Call it a case of high-flying criminal ingenuity: Colombia police captured a carrier pigeon trying to fly into a Bucarmanga jail with marijuana and cocaine paste strapped to its back, according to the BBC.
        Officers say they recovered the bird about 1 block away from the prison. Carrying a package with 40 grams of marijuana and 5 grams of a paste containing cocaine, the bird -- which police believe had been trained by inmates or accomplices -- was trying to clear the prison walls.
        The bird is reportedly now under the possession of the local ecological police unit.
        This is not the first time birds have been used by prisoners for smuggling or drug-related purposes. Local police say previous pigeons had been used to smuggle Sim cards for cell phones into the same jail.
