(Eagle News) — The Bureau of Customs on Thursday surrendered around 3.5 kilograms of shabu it seized at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.
The BoC also arrested Francis Melvin Feliciano and Raquel Kilario dela Cruz, after they tried to claim the package at the FedEx warehouse using a fake identification card on Dec. 11.
The card bore the name of one Michael Espino Cruz of 121-C Kowloon St., BF Homes, Paranaque, the consignee.
The package–sent by one Jason Lee of 340 E 1st, California, USA—arrived at the airport on December 8 and had been declared as toys.
“The suspicious image shown during X-ray inspection prompted a 100 percent physical examination. The matter was referred to the Customs Anti-Illegal Drugs Task Force for initial drug test which resulted positive for methamphetamine,” Customs Commissioner Isidro Lapeña said.
The suspects are in PDEA custody.
