The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency said 42-year-old Danny Ng Boon Eng arrived at Manila airport from Bangkok via a Thai Airways flight. The illegal drugs were discovered during a routine inspection conducted by the Duty Customs Examiner. Authorities confiscated approximately three kilogrammes of the drugs placed inside a rectangular plastic package wrapped in black duct tape and hidden in his trolley bag. A follow-up operation also resulted in the arrest of a 43-year-old Nepalese woman who was supposed to pick up the illegal drugs from Ng in a hotel in Malate, Manila.
