Philippine National Police (PNP) Acting Chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez, Jr. has ordered a thorough investigation into the confiscation of around P7.8 billion worth of shabu in Pangasinan in a bid to identify and arrest all those responsible for the entry of the illegal drugs into the country.

- By AARON RECUENCO

The seized shabu, which is the biggest drug haul so far since Nartatez assumed the top PNP leadership in August this year, was a result of a two-day operation of the PNP and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) that started with the arrest of a Chinese and a Filipino in a buy-bust in Bugallon town where 125 kilos of shabu worth P850 million were seized on Thursday, Oct. 2.

The following day, PNP and PDEA agents raided a warehouse in Labrador town, which resulted in the discovery of 895 more kilos of shabu worth P6.9 billion.
