Officials in the American state of Kentucky have discovered 26 pounds of cannabis hidden inside a statue of Jesus Christ.
The find was made at a DHL Express cargo facility in Northern Kentucky on Friday.
U.S Customs and Border Patrol discovered the drugs during a morning inspection of the cargo hold.
After an x-ray scan officers drilled inside the statue to find around £13,000 worth of cannabis.
Cincinnati Port Director Richard L. Gillespie said: "This unique seizure demonstrates the extraordinary methods individuals will utilize in their attempt to smuggle narcotics."
The package originated from Mexico and was destined for delivery to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
