Mahigit 307M halaga ng Asukal Timbog sa CIDG

BULACAN | Mahigit PHP 307.68 milyong halaga ng imported na asukal ang nasabat ng mga opertiba ng Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) sa pagsalakay sa tatlong magkakahiwalay na warehouse sa Bulacan noong Biyernes ika-6 ng Mayo 2025.

Sa isang pahayag nitong Sabado, sinabi ni CIDG Officer-in-Charge Col. Raine P. Hachuela na nasa 95,568 sako ang nadiskubre sa loob ng tatlong bodega sa isang Industrial Park sa Barangay Perez, sa syudad ng Meycauayan.

Aniya, ang illegal na pag-iimbak (hoarding) ng mga produktong pang-agrikultura ay ipinagbabawal ng batas dahil makakaapekto ito sa presyo sa merkado.

Ang mga operasyon ay isinagawa ng CIDG-Bulacan at iba pang police units sa pamamagitan ng search warrant na nakuha sa tulong ng Department of Agriculture Inspectorate Enforcement (DA-IE) at Sugar Regulatory Administration.

“The operations underscore our unyielding stance against smuggling of agricultural products and economic sabotage. With the confiscation of this allegedly illegally stored very large amount of sugar, we significantly prevent hoarding and economic sabotage” pahayag ni Hachuela.

“I commend the CIDG Regional Field Unit 3 – Special Operations Team and CIDG Bulacan Provincial Field Unit and Meycauayan City Police, and expressed my gratitude to the Department of Agriculture Inspectorate Enforcement (DA IE) and Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) for this remarkable accomplishment. It underscores our unyielding stance against smuggling of agricultural products and economic sabotage. With the confiscation of this alleged illegally stored very large amount of sugar, we significantly prevented hoarding and economic sabotage. Maraming Maraming salamat sa inyo.”

“Rest assured that your CIDG is relentless in its fight against all crimes and violations of law, most especially smuggling of agricultural products and economic sabotage that deprive the State of much needed taxes and revenues for economic development. We urge the public to report all illegal activities in your localities, and the CIDG will do the rest” karagdagang pahayag ni Police Colonel Hachuela

Inihahanda na ang mga kasong paglabag sa Republic Act 10845 o Anti-Agricultural Smuggling Act of 2016 laban sa mga sangkot, ayon kay Col. Hachuela.
