| Wed, 01 Feb 2006 21:57:22 EST Narcs nab drug-smuggling puppies |
| In what could be a new low for drug smugglers, puppies have been found with bags of heroin stitched inside their bellies. A two-year investigation into a Colombian heroin ring netted more than 65 pounds of drugs, resulted in the arrests of more than 20 people and saved the lives of some drug-smuggling Labrador retrievers, the Drug Enforcement Agency said Wednesday. Puppy smugglers are another take on the human "mule," or "swallower" -- someone who ingests packets of drugs and transports them in their stomachs. The puppies, however, had little say in the matter. |
