The Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Sunday vowed to help the Philippine National Police identify the owner of an abandoned vehicle containing P1.3 billion worth of suspected shabu in Pampanga.
“We will immediately act on this. The can be assured that LTO will help establish the identity of the owner. We will not stop until someone is punished,” LTO chief Vigor Mendoza II said.
“It is part of our mandate to coordinate and partner with other law enforcement agencies in order to ensure safety in our surroundings, including coordination with anti-criminality authorities. The LTO is always ready to provide assistance when necessary,” he added.
Last Aug. 25, law enforcers found a red Toyota Avanza (plate no. ZGS 643) in a parking lot in Mabalacat, Pampanga, with P1.3 billion worth of suspected shabu on board.
Mendoza promised to strengthen the agency’s partnership with the PNP and other law enforcement agencies in their anti-criminality operations.
“Eradicating crimes in the country is a whole-of-nation approach. We in the LTO remain committed to be part of these anti-criminality measures,” he said.
