In Syktyvkar (a city in Russia's Far North), a squirrel found a hiding
place, from which it stole a packet of drugs. Three students and a
former police officer eye-witnessed the incident.
The curious incident took place near School No.3,
Interfax reports with reference to eyewitnesses.
The
teens started chasing after the squirrel that was holding a packet of
drugs in its teeth. The boys were running around screaming at the
squirrel in the trees. Their behavior attracted the attention of a
passer-by, who turned out to be a former police officer.
The man
asked the boys to leave the squirrel alone. The students explained
their interest in the squirrel by saying that the rodent was holding
some packet in its mouth.
The man looked at the squirrel
carefully and recognized the small bundle of red color, sealed on all
sides. Such packets are usually used in drug dealing business to pack
doses prior to selling them.
While the people were trying to
understand the situation, the squirrel seized the moment and ran away,
hiding among the trees. "We couldn't catch it, so we will never know
where the packet will go and where it came from," the man said.
