Task Force Davao (TFD) spokesman Major John Louie Dema-ala said they arrested Kuddamon who is a resident of Brgy. Kasanyangan, Zamboanga City.
Dema-ala said the hot items were seized after a team of policemen and soldiers flagged down a red Mazda close van travelling towards the city.
The vehicle with Kuddamon was found loaded with 120 boxes containing a total of 6,000 reams of smuggled cigarettes with an estimated market value of P3 million.
TFD Commander Colonel Darren Comia thanked Davaoeños to have tipped the authorities about the the illegal items.
He said this is proof that the City Government's Culture of Security campaign has paid off.
“It’s a testament that the cooperation and support of the dabawenyos plays a vital role in the maintenance of peace, security and order in the City", Comia said.
The suspect, the vehicle, and contraband were turned over to the concerned agency for the filing of charges.
