MANILA, Philippines — Authorities have seized about 250 grams of suspected shabu with an estimated street value of P1.7 million in a buy-bust operation in Taguig City.
The operation, conducted at about 7 p.m. on Thursday, involved the Southern Police District’s District Drug Enforcement Unit and District Intelligence Division, in coordination with Taguig City Police Station Sub-station 2.
Three high-value suspects were arrested and identified as alias “J,” 43; alias “Gani,” 34; and alias “Hadsma,” 33.
Recovered items from the suspects included a sling bag and a cellular phone.
BGen. Randy Ygay Arceo, acting Southern Police District (SPD) director, said: “This operation highlights the effectiveness of inter-unit cooperation, and our resolve to dismantle drug networks and bring these criminals to justice. We will continue our relentless pursuit of those who endanger our communities.”
The seized drugs were valued using Dangerous Drugs Board estimates, police said. The SPD added that the bust was part of ongoing intensified operations against high-value individuals in Metro Manila.
The suspects are now in custody and face charges under Sections 11 and 26 in relation to Section 5 of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 (RA 9165).
