A B.C. prison is probing a bizarre case of illicit drug trafficking, one that involves a pigeon.

On Dec. 29, officers at the Pacific Institution, a medium-security federal institution in Abbotsford, B.C., discovered a pigeon with a small package attached to it in a fashion similar to a “backpack.” The bird was found in a fenced yard where prisoners regularly spend leisure time, reported CBC News.
