Inmates use mouse to carry drugs between cells in Brazil prison

It is now the turn of drug addicts to turn mouse into drug carriers as has been seen in the Barra da Grota prison in Brazil - this has been seen by prison guards in this notoriously overcrowded and chaotic jail of Brazil.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 5 November 2015.

The guards had seen a mouse being used by inmates to courier drugs between the cells. There were tiny bags of drugs tied to its tail.
The prison is located some 1770-Km inland from Recife and checking the prison cells revealed that there were 29 small packets of marijuana and 23 cocaine. The CCTV footage is being examined to try and discover the prisoner was the mouse's master and had masterminded the operation.
The mouse was caught and released nearby.
Incidentally, using animals as couriers for drugs is not new. In 2009, Brazilian prisoners were caught using carrier pigeons to fly in contraband. And, in January 2012, a cat was caught in Brazil while trying to slip through the prison gates with tools taped to its body - the tools included a saw and drills.
Moreover, in August 2012, the Russian police realized that a cat was being used to smuggle heroin into a prison.
