An unemployed 38-year-old man was arrested in the Pangasinan city of San Carlos on early Tuesday morning (Oct. 6) for allegedly selling and possessing 36.3 grams of suspected shabu worth P246,840 in a police buy-bust operation.
Police said four heat-sealed sachets containing the suspected shabu were seized from the suspect, a city resident, following the sting operation that began at 1 a.m.
Authorities also recovered the P500 bill used as marked money, 12 P1,000 ‘boodle’ bills, a black coin purse and a Samsung Android cellphone.
The suspect was taken into custody and is expected to face charges under the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
