Peru police seize cocaine sewn inside live turkeys

LIMA, Peru — Peruvian police expecting to find a shipment of cocaine hidden in a crate holding two live turkeys were surprised to discover the drug surgically implanted inside the birds.

Acting on a tip, officers stopped a Turismo Ejecutivo SRL bus outside the city of Tarapoto in the central jungle state of San Martin, officials said Monday.

Police were puzzled when they found the turkeys in the crate, but didn’t find the cocaine, Tarapoto’s anti-drug police chief, Otero Gonzalez, told the Associated Press. They then noticed that the two turkeys were bloated.

“Lifting up the feathers of the bird, in the chest area, police detected a handmade seam,” he said.

A veterinarian extracted 11 oval-shaped plastic capsules containing 1.9 kilograms (4.2 pounds) of cocaine from one turkey and 17 capsules with 2.9 kilograms (6.4 pounds) from the other, he said.

Both turkeys survived the removal.

Police were searching for whoever sent the shipment from Juanjui to Tarapoto, which is on a smuggling route from Peru’s east Andean coca-producing valleys to northern coastal cities, where it is sold to Mexican and Colombian traffickers.

Gangs often use human couriers who swallow cocaine to sneak it across borders but it is unusual to use animals. In 2005, Colombian police found a total of 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) of heroin sewn into the bellies of six puppies during a raid on a veterinarian clinic.

I knew something was wrong with last years Thanksgiving Turkey, no one got all sleepy and lethargic like usual.

Everyone started apologizing to everyone about past mistakes, calling everyone they knew to say hi, and then proceeded to play chess at high speed..8) :D
 
Reminds me of that episode of Nip/Tuck where that Colombian gangster was sending girls back and forth from Bogota to Miami to get breast implants filled with Heroin, then replaced with real implants, then replaced with Heroin, rinse repeat.

ya!! And then they got him good in the end.

A little too good, I felt trapped myself when he was getting arrested, I couldn't help it :)
 
Haha I can just picture that...

"hmm...those sure are some day turkeys."

There's gonna be some skeptical DEA agents next time a hippo shipment comes through...
 
That's funny.. Actually, just today I was watching a movie about a coke dealer. At some point some whole fishes were shown on screen for some reason and I thought "hey, filling those big dead fishes with coke could be a nice way to transport it". I'm sure someone's done it before, though, and someone probably also filled frozen turkeys with coke before thinking about filling live ones.
 
I'll be impressed when you show me a Panda stuffed with no. 4 found in the breeder exchange program
 
Desperation? Yeah, they should stick to using humans, surgically insert shit in them if they must, but evidently it didn't permanently damage the animals.
Man, I'd love to find 6.6 lbs h like that, ridiculous. But it is sort of sad.
