THIS is the moment police spotted a raccoon sitting with a meth pipe in its mouth during a routine traffic stop.

The discovery of “Chewy” the raccoon in Ohio led to the unearthing of a large drug supply linked to the driver.

The unusual incident was captured on police body cam footage, revealing a wide-eyed raccoon rummaging through a damaged car and inquisitively taking a puff from a meth pipe.

Springfield police said: “Chewy had somehow gotten hold of a glass methamphetamine pipe, leading officers to further inspect the vehicle.”

Officials stated: “Fortunately, Chewy the raccoon was unharmed. Proper authorities have been notified to verify that [the owner] possesses the necessary paperwork and documentation to own the raccoon.”

“While our officers are trained to expect the unexpected, finding a raccoon holding a meth pipe is a first!

“No raccoons were hurt or injured in this incident.”

The police department disclosed that the car’s owner—along with the raccoon and drugs—is a 55-year-old woman named Victoria Vidal, who was apprehended at the scene.

The Akron resident had an active warrant, police added.

The strange find led to a stash of methamphetamine, crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle, namely three used glass pipes.

Vidal was charged with drug possession, three counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license, while facing an active warrant.

Obtaining a permit to own a raccoon is legal in the state of Ohio, according Fox 8.

Police did not explain whether the raccoon will be returned to its owner.

It comes as an incredibly rare white killer whale was spotted gliding through the ocean off the coast of Japan‘s volcanic island Hokkaido.

Scientists say the animal has a “glowing mutation”, which creates the striking white appearance, and is one of just a handful worldwide.

In a video, the creature can be seen swimming in a pod of at least five ordinary orcas.

It repeatedly swoops up out of the water before crashing back down into the ocean.

Meanwhile, a 28lb cat the size of a small child has gone viral on social media.

Zeus, a “majestic” Maine Coon, who lives in Moldova with his owner, stretches a jaw-dropping 4ft 3in tall when on his hind legs.

The super-sized feline can be seen lounging on a bed meant for a sled dog, high-fiving on command, giving his paw and even pressing buttons for treats.
