CUSTOMS authorities seized some P7.5 million worth of party drugs, including ecstasy, at the Manila Central Post Office which came from the Netherlands.
Customs Commissioner Nicanor Faeldon said the drugs were found hidden in five parcels of toys consigned to a certain Don Arnold, while the two others to a certain Martin Domingo.
Lawyer Arnel Alcaraz, OIC-deputy commissioner, said the modus of these drug syndicates is to order illegal drugs online using fake identity, utilizing bitcoins as payment, and coursing the transit of the parcels via the mail.
Faeldon ordered an investigation to identify persons involved in the illegal activities. Only recently, the BoC intercepted more than 2,000 pieces of ecstasy tablets at the Central Mail Exchange Center and 2.4 kilograms of cocaine at the Clark International Airport.
