A cat has been detained at a prison in Brazil after being spotted carrying banned equipment including a mobile phone. Leonardo Rocha takes on this story.
Brazilian prison guards were surprised to see a white cat going through the main gate off the jail of that remote northeastern city of Arapiraca on New Year's Day. On closer inspection, they saw a number of items were strapped to the cat body which could be used by inmates to plan an escape, mobile phone and SIM card, drills, a phone recharger and small metal saws. Brazilian police say it's difficult to find out who among. More than 200 prisoners was involved in the plot. The cat has been taken into custody at an animal rescue center.
