4 nabbed, P3.7-M shabu seized in Manila buy-bust

Police officers arrested four suspected drug peddlers and seized PHP3.74 million worth of shabu in a sting operation in Tondo, Manila on Sunday.


In a report Monday, Philippine National Police-Drug Enforcement Group (PNP DEG) chief Brig. Gen. Eleazar Matta said the four unnamed suspects --three males aged 20, 29 and 42, and a 27-year-old female were arrested around 3:30 p.m.


The suspects yielded some 550 grams of shabu along with other non-drug related evidence.


The arrested suspects and non-drug evidence are now under the temporary custody of PDEG, SOU (Special Operation Unit)-National Capital Region at Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City for proper documentation and disposition, while the seized drug evidence will be turned over to PNP Forensic Group in Camp Crame, Quezon City.


“The arrest of key drug suspects in today’s operation sends a powerful message that our fight against drug-related crime is both effective and ongoing. The community can feel more secure knowing that we are actively working to eliminate dangerous substances from their neighborhood,” Matta added. (PNA)
