United States customs officials have seized a statue of Jesus Christ made from plaster mixed with cocaine - the latest sophisticated attempt to smuggle drugs from Mexico.
Sniffer dogs at the border crossing in Laredo, Texas, alerted officials to the smell of narcotics in the 3 kilogram statue, which was in the trunk of a car being driven by a Mexican woman into the United States last week.
“The statue tested positive for cocaine,” Nancy Herrera, an official at the US Attorney’s Office Southern District of Texas said.

That image of Jesus is the “Cristo Redentor” in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil… That is not in Mexico…
Just to make it clear…

Of course this is in Rio. I was just looking for an image of an awful big Jesus statue and that happens to be located in Rio.
