Following meth pigeon, what animal would be your partner in crime?
The wild story from a B.C. prison had Roach curious
Meth pigeon.
Yes, you read that right.
If you haven't heard the story yet, it was a routine Dec. 29 at Pacific Institution in Abbotsford when officers noticed a grey bird with a small package strapped to its back, like a tiny backpack.
The officers managed to corner the bird, unload its cargo, and set it free.
Turns out the feathered friend was ferrying 30 grams of meth on its back - a "fairly substantial" amount according to some reports.
That got Roach, from 104.7 The Lizard thinking: what animal would you turn to if you had to commit a crime?
He hit the streets to find out!
