Transcript
00:00A Humanoid Courier illegally drove a corner at a checkpoint in Taguig City.
00:05The suspect was caught with a bag of cannabis oil that he was using for vaping.
00:11Vep Custodio is in the center of the news.
00:14He's running. Get up, get up, get up.
00:20These men were arrested by the police after they ran away from the checkpoint in Sembo, Taguig City.
00:26The driver didn't have a traffic violation.
00:28He was loaded with smuggled goods.
00:31What's that? Why are you running?
00:34Hey, this is marijuana.
00:36An anonymous informant texted our hotline here in the precinct
00:41that someone was transporting illegal drugs.
00:45The suspect was stopped after he was alerted by a drug courier.
00:49We were at the checkpoint.
00:50When we were at the checkpoint, we saw a spotter who was in a hurry to go to our checkpoint, a white motorcycle.
00:58So what he did was he stopped the motorcycle and let it go.
01:02When he was getting closer, he suddenly ran and went straight to avoid our spotter.
01:08In the presence of the suspect, he ran to a checkpoint signage while the authorities were trying to stop him.
01:14Almost half a million illegal drugs were smuggled into the suspect's possession.
01:18More than 3.5 kilos of marijuana or cannabis oil were hidden in the vape.
01:23TNVS Rider Umano is the drug courier, but he did not show any evidence.
01:28He was getting this from Pasig.
01:30Someone was booking this for him.
01:31He was just brought to the front of the subdivision.
01:34He was only paid Php 1,000 per head.
01:37Usually, illegal drugs are smuggled in Mandaluyong and parts of Calabarzon.
01:44He was also informed that he was using illegal drugs.
01:47The suspect admitted to illegal activities.
01:50He was only brought to the route he passed.
01:52I was delivering to Mandaluyong and I passed the checkpoint.
01:56There was JP Rizal Macda.
01:58But the suspect did not know the real name of his boss.
02:02The rider I met was the supplier of marijuana in Pasig.
02:07Under investigation, this incident, our Station Drug Enforcement Unit is coordinating
02:15with the SDU of the Eastern Police District as well as the Region 4A.
02:22Because of this, Taguig Police will monitor the vape shops in the city.
02:27What we are doing here in Taguig City,
02:30every day we conduct visitations to the vape shops.
02:35We also inspect the permits so that we can see if there are such things being sold.
02:43The suspect will face a case of violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002
02:48and disobedience to a person in authority or his agent.
