Drug dealers who used carrier pigeons to distribute marijuana across Argentina have been arrested.
Prosecutors say the dealers made up to 20 deliveries a day to a distributor in Lomas de Zamora, who would collect the drug from pouches on the birds’ legs.
Police began to investigate after finding one of the pigeons lost and disorientated with drugs strapped to its leg.
A spokesman said: ‘It was released and we were able to follow it. Then it was a question of waiting and following again.’
Three men were arrested at a makeshift cannabis farm.
In 2011, Colombian drugs gangs reportedly strapped a package containing 1.6 ounces of the drug to a pigeon and pointed it in the direction of the jail in Bucaramanga.
But the excess baggage proved too much for it. The bird crash-landed and was captured by two policemen who found it flapping helplessly near the prison.
