Baku-APA. A routine inspection of a prison in the eastern Mexican city of Chetumal led to an unexpected discovery after policemen found a crocodile in one of the prison cells, local police reported on Friday, APA reports quoting Xinhua.

The crocodile, which was kept by inmates as a pet, was freed and let go and policemen are trying to find out now how the reptile ended up in a prison cell.

The same inspection also resulted in the discovery of 28 roosters which prisoners kept for fun and staged cockfighting.
