Zoo thefts made headlines last when a 3-month-old penguin Toga was stolen from Amazon World Zoo Park on the Isle of Wight, off southern Britain. He was never found. His parents Kyala and Oscar mourned the loss for several weeks. The manager of the Park thinks that Toga must have been stolen to order by professionals.
But the problem is that these animals are not tame and you need to know how to handle and care for them or they may die. Many zoos are now increasing security and some are tagging and chipping

BUFFALO, N.Y. - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers made three separate narcotics seizures and arrested two wanted individuals at local bridges during this past weekend.
CBP officers at the Peace Bridge encountered a 31-year old male U.S. citizen claiming to have made a wrong turn onto the bridge. Officers noticed the subject’s nervous behavior and searched his vehicle’s trunk, where 10 grams of marijuana was discovered inside a shoebox. The subject and narcotics were turned over to the Buffalo Police Department.
Also at Peace Bridge, CBP officers encountered a 22-year old U.S. citizen, discovering 19.9 grams of marijuana in the trunk of his vehicle.
At Rainbow Bridge, CBP officers encountered a 29-year old U.S. citizen and discovered 169 grams of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), commonly found in cannabis, but laced into gummy candies found in the traveler’s possession.
At Lewiston Bridge, CBP officers discovered 40 grams of marijuana in a backpack in the trunk of a vehicle. A 31-year old U.S. citizen claimed ownership of the narcotics and was turned over to Lewiston Police Department.
In addition to intercepting narcotics, CBP officers at Peace Bridge arrested two wanted individuals. A 27-year old citizen of Iraq with U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident status was encountered by CBP officers, who discovered the traveler was wanted on an outstanding warrant from the Erie County Sheriff’s Office in Pennsylvania. The subject was wanted for failure to appear in court on charges of unsworn falsifications to authorities, and turned over to the Buffalo Police Department for extradition to Pennsylvania.
CBP Officers at Peace Bridge also encountered a 26-year old Jamaican citizen wanted on three outstanding warrants issued by the New York State Police, Rochester City Police Department, and Monroe County Sheriff’s Office for assault and forgery. The warrants were confirmed with law enforcement agencies, and the subject was turned over to New York State Police.
“While CBP’s number one mission is to prevent terrorism in our homeland, our CBP Officers continually work to keep narcotics and criminals out of our community,” said Buffalo Area Port Director Cary Frieling. “Our officers work tirelessly to secure our border and they do it with integrity and professionalism, insuring that illicit items are not entering our country and wanted individuals are detained and turned over to the appropriate authorities.”
