LONDON (Reuters) Customs officers have uncovered a stash of cocaine hidden in a parcel containing a carving of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, a Bible, a Crucifix and a statue of the Virgin Mary.
The package, sent from Brazil to an address in London, was discovered at a parcel sorting office in Coventry. The 300 grams of high-purity cocaine was estimated to be worth 15,000 pounds.
"I've seen cocaine hidden in everything from shirt buttons to candles, to a baby blanket, but never inside a consignment of religious artefacts," said a spokeswoman for the British customs authorities.
No arrests have been made.
Dude creative....but just not quite there...
