What started as a regular anti-carnapping checkpoint ended up with operatives of the Highway Patrol Group of the Philippine National Police (PNP-HPG) confiscating around P102 million worth of shabu in Catbalogan City in Samar on Wednesday, April 16.
PNP-HPG director Brig. Gen. Eleazar Matta said his men were conducting an operation along the Barangay New Mahayag part of the Maharlika Highway at around noon on Tuesday when they flagged down a white sports utility vehicle over broken fog light.
