3 armed foreigners nabbed, P78,000 in shabu seized in Pasay City

Three Chinese nationals were arrested, and two pistols and P78,000 worth of shabu were seized when authorities served a search warrant at a condo unit in Pasay City.

According to John Consulta's report on "24 Oras Weekend," the arrested suspects were identified as Wu Zhanhjiang, Jiang Guanglin, and Mao Wei.

“Nagkaroon po tayo ng inpormasyon na merong tatlong Chinese na labas-masok sa isang building na may nakasukbit na mga baril. Nakarekober po tayo ng isang 9mm pistol Glock at isang caliber .38 revolver,” said SPD District Director Police Brigadier General John Kirby Kraft.

(We had information that three Chinese were going in and out of a building with guns on them. We recovered a 9mm Glock pistol and a caliber .38 revolver.)

The SPD said the foreigners had just finished using drugs before the raid.

“Nakarekober din tayo ng three sachet ng hinihinalang shabu at may nakuha rin tayong four na plastic bottle na may liquid. 'Di pa natin ma-determine ngayon pero malalaman natin sa forensic unit kung ito ba ay ipinagbabawal na substance. Ito po ay nakakaalarma dahil alam naman natin na ang foreigners ay di pinapayagang magmay-ari ng baril at ito pa, gumagamit sila ng droga,” Kraft added.

(We also recovered three sachets of suspected shabu, and we also got four plastic bottles with a liquid. We still still don't know, but we will find out if it is a prohibited substance. This is alarming because we know that foreigners are not allowed to own guns and that they use drugs," Kraft added.

The suspects have been charged with illegal possession of firearms and violation of the Dangerous Drugs Act. — Sherylin Untalan/DVM, GMA Integrated News
