BoC seizes P4.6M worth of Kush marijuana in separate inspections

Recently, the Bureau of Customs (BoC) seized P4.6 million worth of high-grade Kush marijuana in separate inspections at the Port of Clark on October 18 and 21.

On Monday, customs officials found P1.57 million worth of Kush concealed in garments declared as men's clothing, which was detected through x-ray inspection and confirmed by laboratory analysis.

Earlier this month, another seizure occurred on October 18 with P3.08 million worth of marijuana also discovered inside vacuum-sealed pouches after a K-9 sniff test flagged the shipment for examination.

The BoC also confiscated P50 million worth of illegal drugs in separate operations earlier this month and has seized a total of P2.28 billion worth of illegal drugs in the first six months of 2024.

In addition, on October 14, the BoC discovered over 4,891 ecstasy or parry drug tablets concealed inside espresso capsules and coffee beans shipped from the Netherlands.
