Mexico City police rescue 150 stolen ferrets after high speed chase

Ferrets

Police in Mexico City have rescued 150 ferrets from armed robbers after a high speed chase.

Police
say they found the furry contraband after the suspects crashed their
car into a tree and then fled on foot. Fourteen boxes of ferrets
imported from the U.S. were taken by force by three robbers from a
truck after it left the Mexico City airport. Two suspects are under
arrest and another escaped.

Police said Friday that a veterinarian who purchased the ferrets reclaimed them.

The ferrets were unharmed.
