Lions and tigers seized in raid on Mexico drugs ring

POLICE have smashed a major drugs ring in Mexico City seizing weapons, vehicles — and lions and tigers.

11 Colombians, a US citizen, two Mexicans and an Uruguayan were detained during a raid on a sprawling mansion, prosecutor Marisela Morales said.

The property, with walls, ceilings and furniture made almost entirely of ornately carved wood, was used by the traffickers for nighttime parties.
