DEA: Virgin Mary Statues Used By Smugglers
March 30, 2006 - postchronicle.com

NEW YORK, March 30, 2006 (UPI) -- The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency says it has broken up a cocaine-trafficking operation that smuggled drugs into New York in religious statues.

The DEA said the investigation, called Operation Omni Presence, resulted in the arrests of 11 people and the seizure of more than 425 pounds of cocaine and $474,000 in cash.

The agency said an organization based in Mexico hid bricks of cocaine in statues of the Virgin Mary and used other "ingenious methods" to get drugs into the United States. The DEA said the investigation eliminated all levels of the operation from "wholesale distributors to retail dealers."

DEA Special Agent in Charge John P. Gilbride, in a release, said, "Like grave robbers who have no respect for the dead, this drug organization used revered tombstones to smuggle millions of dollars worth of cocaine into New York City. DEA identified this international organization with its cocaine distribution reach from Mexico to the streets of New York and put it out of business."

Gilbride said DEA worked with the Nassau County Police Department, the New York City Police Department and the New York U.S. attorney's office.

Now we know why there are reports of Mary statues crying.  They are not really crying, they just have a runny coke nose.

Explains everything!
