Authorities confiscated shabu (crystal meth) valued at P1.15 million and arrested one suspect in a buy-bust operation in Taguig City, the Southern Police District (SPD) said.
In a statement on Thursday, the SPD noted that the drug sting took place late Wednesday afternoon along Modomo Street in Barangay Upper Bicutan.
Police only identified the suspect as ‘Michael,’ a 35-year-old male. ‘Recovered from the suspect were eight plastic sachets of suspected shabu weighing 169.3 grams, with a standard drug price of P1,151,240, along with marked buy-bust money, boodle cash, and a cellular phone used in the illegal transaction,’ the SPD explained.
Michael is now under the custody of the Taguig police, awaiting charges for violation of Republic Act No. 9165 or the Dangerous Drugs Act.
