CLARKFREEPORT, Pampanga — Another smuggling attempt was foiled by government authorities, which resulted in the seizure of approximately P708,000.00 worth of kush (high-grade marijuana) following an interdiction operation at around 10:45 a.m. here at the Port of Clark on Thursday (July 3).
PDEA Clark team leader said that the parcel emanated from Michigan, USA, and was declared as “Sasstie Reading Pillows for Sitting in Bed Adult.”
“The package containing illegal drugs arrived at the Port of Clark last June 30 and was detected during a routine customs examination and X-ray scan. The drugs were not concealed, which resulted in their discovery by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) examiners,” PDEA Clark added.
Approximately 472 grams of kush valued at P708,000.00 was seized during the interdiction operation.
Confiscated drugs will be submitted to the PDEA RO3 laboratory for forensic examination and confirmation.
The successful interdiction operation was a collaborative effort involving the PDEA Clark International Airport Inter-Agency Drug Interdiction Task Group (CRK IADITG), the Bureau of Customs (BOC) Port of Clark, the NBI Pampanga District Office, and the PNP Aviation Security Unit. (UnliNews Online)
