{{Police in southern New Zealand were left scratching their heads after a cat in the city of Dunedin deposited a five-gram bag of cannabis at its owner’s house, a local newspaper reported on Monday.}}<\/p>\n
Dunedin Police Sergeant Reece Munro said a local woman had phoned the police station on Sunday evening to report that her cat had left a “bag of drugs” on the doorstep, according to the Otago Daily Times.<\/p>\n
“You hear of cats bringing dead birds and rats home, but I’ve never seen anything like this before,” he told the newspaper.<\/p>\n
Sergeant Munro said the origins of the cannabis, which had a street value of about $86, remained a mystery and investigations were continuing.<\/p>\n
On the possibility of adding a feline drug-detecting division to the police force, Sergeant Munro said “this might be something police could explore in the future.”<\/p>\n
