Cat caught smuggling tools into prison
Brazilian prisoners train cat to deliver items

A cat with jailbreak items strapped to its body has been caught by guards at a prison in Brazil.

Alagoas Prison guards caught the cat as it wandered into the facility's prison yard. It was covered in duct tape that carried a mobile phone, earphone, memory card, batteries, a phone charger, a saw and a drill.

The agent that first found the cat smuggling the items commented: "We were very surprised by this new tactic of prisoners."

At present, all 263 inmates at the prison are suspects, as no one knows who is behind the plot to smuggle in the contraband items.

Officials believe the cat has been trained to deliver to the prison repeatedly as it had been seen going in and out of the grounds numerous times before the arrest.

But the prison's representatives say it will be hard to discover who is responsible since the cat does not speak.
