Suspected shabu (crystal meth) valued at P3.4 million was confiscated and four individuals were arrested in a Cavite buy-bust operation late Monday afternoon, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) said.
In a statement, the PDEA noted that the operation targeted a compound along Niog Road in Barangay Niog Purok II in Bacoor City.
Operatives arrested garbage collectors ‘Daniel,’ 31, and ‘Sherwin,’ 42; painter ‘Arjay,’ 34; and construction worker ‘Antonio,’ 58, the agency further detailed.
‘Confiscated from the suspects were approximately 502 grams of shabu with an estimated (Dangerous Drugs Board standard drug) price value of P3,413,600,’ the PDEA explained.
‘Also seized were buy-bust money, deposit slips, disposable lighters, and an open transparent plastic pack,’ it added.
The arrested suspects will face a case for violations of Republic Act No. 9165 or the Dangerous Drugs Act.
