Best Posts in Thread: P3.5M worth of suspected shabu nabbed in Dumaguete!

Who says LBC didn't give them the same problems? The person sending it probably hid the drugs in something that didn't raise suspicion and used a fake ID. You don't just walk up with 20+ clear plastic bags of drugs and hand it over the counter to an underpaid employee at LBC....the chances that it would be stolen are far higher than the chance of the police being called. Whatever they hid it in probably didn't get sent through an x-ray (I don't think LBC does much of that for domestic shipments) and wasn't caught until dogs sniffed it out. Getting a fake ID takes a day to find someone to do it for you and about an hour to do it yourself if you have a camera, computer, printer, some laminating sheets and a set of scissors.

 

"shabu weighing 23.64 grams with a Dangerous Drugs Board value of about P278,000." = P11,759.73/gram
"transporting 25 grams of shabu with an estimate value of P295,000" = P11,800/gram
but then
"approximately weighing 25 grams with a DDB value of about P200,000" = P8,000/gram

Apparently the price per gram shot down before the end of the article. Strange, I thought less of a product out on the market would mean the price would go up. Then again, 75 grams is likely only a tiny fraction of the amount used in and around Dumaguete on a daily basis.

 

I highly doubt the person who sent it went to the airport to ship it. They probably sent it at an LBC branch.....and I highly doubt they used their real name when they shipped it off.
