The suspect was randomly flagged at a checkpoint when authorities found the cigarettes in his Toyota Vios car. When Sangsangan was asked for relevant documents, he failed to produce them, therefore the goods were presumed to be contraband.
Sangsangan was arrested and detained at the Kumalarang Municipal Police Station.
