A JOINT team of law enforcers has confiscated some P272 million worth of illegal drugs during an operation at the Batangas Port in Batangas City
The contraband was found stashed in four audio speakers unloaded from a private vehicle driven by a 30-year-old resident of Cotabato City, who had disembarked from a passenger vessel at the port.
During inspection, PDEA operatives noticed the driver’s “unusual difficulty” in unloading one of the speakers, prompting the PCG K9 team to move in and begin the search.
All seized items were inventoried and secured before being transported to the PDEA national headquarters in Quezon City for further laboratory examination and proper disposition. The suspect is presently under PDEA custody pending filing of drug charges against him. Rex Espiritu
