The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) has commended the two motorcycle delivery riders for the recovery of nearly P150,000 worth of assorted narcotics in Barangay Parang, Marikina City on Friday night, 18 September.

At around 11 p.m., the two riders grew suspicious of a package entrusted to them for delivery. Choosing public safety over routine completion of the job, they bypassed the drop-off point and flagged down a police officer on covert patrol. The riders escorted the officer to the Station Intelligence Section of the Marikina City Police Station for immediate verification.

A thorough inventory of the parcel was conducted in the presence of a barangay official and a media representative to ensure transparency.

The inspection yielded two sachets of suspected high-grade marijuana, known locally as kush, weighing approximately 28 grams with an estimated street value of P42,000.

Authorities also recovered two packs of dried marijuana leaves with fruiting tops weighing roughly 800 grams, carrying an estimated push value of P96,000, alongside nine assorted marijuana oil cartridges totaling approximately 9 milliliters valued at P11,700.

The confiscated items were handed over to the Station Drug Enforcement Unit for proper disposition and subsequently forwarded to the Eastern Police District Forensic Unit for laboratory analysis.
