A pigeon wearing miniature backpack filled with “Crystal Meth” was captured at a B.C. prison

Prison guards in B.C.’s Fraser Valley have to be vigilant against drones trying to drop contraband to waiting inmates or someone trying to throw drugs over the walls, but a recent discovery has also caused some concern.

“A pigeon was located at Pacific Institution, inside the walls, and it appeared to have a small package, sort of like a backpack attached to it,” John Randle, president of the Pacific Region for Union of Canadian Correctional Officers told Global News.

He said the package contained crystal meth.

The incident reportedly happened on Dec. 29 at the maximum, medium and minimum federal penitentiary located in Abbotsford.
