A pigeon was intercepted on the roofs of Picaleña Prison in Ibagué, Colombia, with a harness and a package containing two phone charger cables attached to its body. The incident was recorded by prison guards who suspect the bird was headed for one of the prison's courtyards. The pigeon had restraints on each wing and a package wrapped in plastic, placed on its back. During the inspection, the guards removed the package and found the charger cables. The pigeon had a mechanism prepared for transporting small objects, suggesting it had been trained for this purpose.
