MANILA, Philippines — Authorities have seized about 250 grams of suspected shabu with an estimated street value of P1.7 million in a buy-bust operation in Taguig City.
The operation, conducted at about 7 p.m. on Thursday, involved the Southern Police District’s District Drug Enforcement Unit and District Intelligence Division, in coordination with Taguig City Police Station Sub-station 2.
Three high-value suspects were arrested and identified as alias “J,” 43; alias “Gani,” 34; and alias “Hadsma,” 33.
Recovered items from the suspects included a sling bag and a cellular phone.
