BOC steps up intel drive, information-sharing vs new shabu lab operation modus.
The Bureau of Customs has further stepped up its information-sharing with government’s anti-narcotics agencies to prevent the smuggling of chemical precursors in making shabu following the discovery of a new modus in the manufacture of illegal drugs during two separate raids in an exclusive village in Muntinlupa City.
Based on the information from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency , the arrested suspects have been using a modified set-up in manufacturing illegal drugs wherein the liquid form of shabu is being washed with acetone to make the entire process odorless. “These suspects are linked to Mexican, Australian and Canadian drug trafficking groups. We are currently investigating these links and several other drug personalities,” said Pimentel.The operation stemmed from derogatory information received that there are foreign nationals allegedly being involved in smuggling shabu and cocaine to Australia, according to the PDEA.
In another operation held on the same day at 523 Madrigal Avenue, Ayala-Alabang Village, it resulted in the arrest of Ariana Golesorkhi, 33, a Canadian; Audemar Ponsica, 31, driver; and Welmar Laban, 37, helper.
