Authorities seized alleged smuggled cigarettes worth more than P9.2 million at a checkpoint in Kiamba, Sarangani.

Police manning the checkpoint intercepted a 10-wheeler truck loaded with around 172 boxes of alleged smuggled cigarettes.

The driver, a resident of San Jose, Digos, Davao del Sur, reportedly failed to present documents for the cargo, which was why he was arrested for unauthorized transportation and distribution of smuggled goods.

The seized items were brought to the Kiamba Municipal Police Station for custody.
