3 ex-BIR employees, ‘lawyer’ caught having shabu session in QC home

Three former employees of the Bureau of Internal Revenue and another man who claimed to be a lawyer were arrested for allegedly being caught in a shabu session in Quezon City, early Wednesday.

An Unang Balita report identified the suspects as former BIR employees Raymon Rosales, Noel Lumagbas and Magdaleno Tabalera and Arnel Torres, who said he is a lawyer.

Police claimed the four suspects were caught while having a shabu session inside a house in Barangay Central at past midnight.

Superintendent Christian dela Cruz, chief of the Quezon City Police District Station 10, said the raid was conducted after they received a tip that men were having a shabu session at the house.

The four suspects denied they were using shabu. They claimed they were only playing cards.

However, police claimed they recovered three sachets of shabu, an empty plastic sachet with shabu residue and various drug paraphernalia.

Charges for violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 are being prepared against the suspects. —ALG, GMA News
