P5.8 million high-grade ‘MJ’ declared as ‘Broccoli’ seized at Clark

ALERT Bureau of Customs (BOC) personnel at the Port of Clark said they seized 3.896 kilos of high-grade marijuana (‘Kush) from Thailand valued at P5.844 million and declared as ‘freeze-dried broccoli’ with its final destination at Legazpi City, Bicol region.

District Collector Jairus S. Reyes, in a report to Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio, said the successful interdiction last March 26 was the result of their active collaboration with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).

Reyes, however, did not disclose the name of the sender or the final consignee or if any arrest has been made.

He said the parcel’s destination is in Quezon City, Metro Manila.
