Bears in cages hid hashish in international smuggling ring
U S Customs says four men arrested in Northern California as half of about 500000 dollars worth of hashish is recovered. Two bears used to transport the contraband escaped as agents closed in on Big Bend in the Sierra Nevada region. Hashish was packed inside hollowed cage tops and sides after a hole was drilled in a New York shipping cage. Bears shipped from Katmandu Nepal. Charles E Woodson of San Francisco allegedly picked up the loaded cages last week at San Francisco International Airport and delivered them to Big Bend.
