Police anti-narcotics operatives arrested two alleged street drug pushers, and seized P142,000 worth of shabu (crystal meth) in a buy-bust operation early Wednesday, April 22, in Rodriguez town in Rizal province.
The Rizal police reported that a team of operatives held ‘Vonvon,’ 33, and ‘Cristi,’ 36, after they sold P500 worth of shabu to a poseur buyer in Barangay San Jose at dawn.
The suspects yielded seven heat-sealed plastic sachets containing suspected meth weighing 21 grams, worth P142,000, and a digital weighing scale.
The Rodriguez police are still investigating the source of the illegal drugs.
The report tagged the suspects as street-level pushers on the police watch list.
‘The arrest of these individuals is proof of our relentless campaign against illegal drugs. We will continue to intensify our operations to maintain the safety and order of our community, Colonel Eleazar Barber Jr., Rizal police director, said.
The suspects were detained and are facing charges of violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
