DAVAO CITY, Philippines — The Police Regional Office (PRO) 11 (Davao Region) announced that its Regional Special Operations Group (RSOG) intercepted 308 master cases of suspected smuggled cigarettes worth an estimated P4.6 million in two separate operations in Digos City, Davao del Sur on Oct. 29 and 30.

On Oct. 30, RSOG-11 officers seized 267 cases of suspected smuggled cigarettes found piled along the roadside in Barangay Tres de Mayo.

The operation was prompted by a tip from an informant, leading officers to the area, where they coordinated with the Digos City Police Station for proper documentation.
