BOC seizes P227-M high-grade marijuana, arrests 2 in Naia
Over P227 million worth of suspected high-grade marijuana, weighing more than 151 kilos, was seized at NAIA Terminal 3.
The Bureau of Customs (BOC) announced the seizure, which is the largest of its kind in BOC-NAIA history.
The baggage belonged to two Filipino passengers who arrived from Bangkok, Thailand, aboard Cebu Pacific Flight 53932.
X-ray screening initially flagged the baggage, leading to a physical inspection where multiple transparent packs of suspected Kush were discovered.
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) K9 units confirmed the presence of illegal drugs, and PDEA took custody of the drugs and the arrested suspects.
The two passengers are facing criminal charges for violating Republic Act 9165, the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.
