LIMA, Peru — Peruvian police expecting to find a shipment of cocaine hidden in a crate holding two live turkeys were surprised to discover the drug surgically implanted inside the birds.
Police were puzzled when they found the turkeys in the crate but didn’t find the cocaine, an official said. They then noticed that the two turkeys were bloated.
A veterinarian extracted 11 plastic capsules containing 4.2 pounds of cocaine from one turkey and 17 capsules with 6.4 pounds from the other, he said. Both turkeys survived.
