PNP INTERCEPTS ₱14 MILLION WORTH OF SMUGGLED CI******ES IN ZAMBOANGA CITY

The Philippine National Police (PNP), in coordination with partner law enforcement agencies, intercepted more than ₱14 million worth of suspected smuggled ci******es during an anti-smuggling operation in Barangay Campo Islam, Zamboanga City, in the early hours of July 26, 2026.

The operation, carried out by operatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Regional Field Unit 9 in coordination with the Bureau of Customs and the Zamboanga City Police Station 11, resulted in the recovery of an abandoned delivery van loaded with assorted smuggled ci******es. The individuals transporting the cargo fled the scene upon noticing the approaching authorities and remain under investigation.

Recovered during the operation were 61 master cases and 715 reams of assorted ci******es with an estimated market value of ₱14,081,100.00. The seized items were properly inventoried in the presence of barangay officials before being prepared for turnover to the Bureau of Customs for appropriate disposition under existing laws.

The operation aligns with the PNP Focused Agenda on Enhanced Managing Police Operations, reinforcing intelligence-driven and inter-agency efforts against smuggling. It also supports the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to intensify the fight against illicit trade that deprives the government of lawful revenues and harms legitimate businesses.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., commended the operating teams for their swift coordination and professionalism.

"Ang ganitong operasyon ay nagpapakita na kapag nagtutulungan ang ating mga law enforcement agencies, mas nagiging epektibo ang pagpigil sa mga iligal na gawain. Hindi lang ito tungkol sa pagkumpiska ng mga kontrabando—pinoprotektahan din natin ang kabuhayan ng mga lehitimong negosyante at ang ekonomiya ng bansa," PGen Nartatez said.

He added, "Hindi man naaresto ang mga sangkot sa pagkakataong ito, tuloy-tuloy ang aming imbestigasyon upang matukoy ang mga responsable at mapanagot sila sa ilalim ng batas. Rest assured, the PNP will continue working closely with our partner agencies to keep illicit goods from reaching our communities."

The PNP assured the public that follow-up investigation is ongoing to identify those behind the attempted transport of the contraband and to pursue the appropriate criminal charges. Through sustained coordination with partner agencies, the PNP remains committed to advancing Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman, by protecting communities and supporting lawful commerce across the country.
