Delivery Rider Arrested at NAIA after Claiming Package Containing High-Grade Illegal Drugs
A delivery rider was arrested after he was caught with high-grade Marie Juana at a cargo warehouse at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
According to the report of ABS-CBN News, Gerald Javier, deputy commander of the PDEA-NAIA Inter-Agency Drug Interdiction Task Group, said a small package arrived at the NAIA from Canada declaring a toy box.
But when it went through the X-ray machine, the Bureau of Customs examiner noticed that the contents of the package did not seem to be a toy. The K-9 unit also signaled something strange in the package, so the examiner opened it.

When the package was opened, 500 grams of Marie Juana were found. Based on the laboratory test, high-grade Marie Juana or kush is in a package with a street value of P808,000. So the PDEA is waiting for someone to claim the package.
The suspect came to get the package, but he was also arrested immediately. He insisted he did not know that the package contained drugs. He said he was just ordered to pick up the package at the airport.
It’s just because the suspect is a delivery app rider, but he admitted that he did not make a booking in the app, but only told via text message. A follow-up operation is now underway to trace where the package of high-grade Marie Juana should go and to whom.
