The District Drug Enforcement Unit conducted an operation on VP Cruz, Purok 5 at 12:05 in the morning on December 9. The three men arrested were a 43-year-old known as Liza, previously sentenced in a drug-related case; a 54-year-old named Samson, a high-value individual known for drug dealing; and a 41-year-old named Abdul, also listed as a high-value drug pusher.
Through the joint operation of the SPD, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), and Substation 10 of the Taguig City Police, four heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets filled with a white crystal-like substance suspected to be shabu (methamphetamine) were seized.
The weight of the confiscated drugs is estimated at 100.10 grams, valued at approximately ₱680,680.00. One genuine ₱1000 bill and four bundles of boodle money used in the buy-bust operation, along with a cellphone, were also recovered.
The three suspects will face charges for violating Sections 5, 11, and 26 related to Section 5 under Article II of Republic Act 9166, also known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.
