The shipment was marked for physical examination after X-ray scanning showed a suspicious image.
Samples from the sports water bottles were then taken and turned over to PDEA for chemical laboratory analysis, which confirmed the presence of shabu. Once confirmed, agents from the BOC and the PDEA conducted a joint delivery operation, which led to the arrest of two suspects who claimed the shipment.
