PDEA-12 seizes three kg of marijuana in South Cotabato
On Wednesday, March 5, anti-narcotics agents seized three kilograms of dried marijuana from a parcel at a forwarding firm's warehouse in Barangay Glamang, Polomolok, South Cotabato.
The package, which was destined for General Santos City and sent from Quiapo in Metro Manila, contained six compressed bricks of marijuana leaves worth P360,000.
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency-12 (PDEA-12) Director Benjamin Recites informed reporters that a drug-sniffing dog identified the contraband seconds after smelling the parcel, leading to a swift interdiction operation involving the Polomolok Municipal Police Station and PRO-12 units.
The Philippine Coast Guard Intelligence Group-Southern Mindanao also assisted in the operation that resulted in the confiscation of the marijuana bricks.
PDEA-12 agents are now conducting an extensive manhunt for the recipient, who is a resident of General Santos City.
