2 nabbed for allegedly delivering P3.4 million worth of shabu

Two individuals were nabbed for allegedly delivering over P3.4 million worth of drugs to several clients in Taguig.

According to a Saksi report by John Consulta on Thursday, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Group (PDEG) arrested the two suspects in a buy-bust operation after they delivered drugs to an undercover agent.

Authorities seized P3.4 million worth of shabu, which was supposed to be delivered to the suspects' clients in time for Christmas celebrations.

“Ayon sa intelligence report na nakuha natin sa ating mga operatiba, through mga messaging app [sila nakikipagusap], at once nagkaroon na ng magandang usapan o transaksyon para dito, doon na sila nagkakaroon ng palitan ng mga pera at mga illegal na kontrabando,” said PDEG spokesperson Police Lieutenant Dhame Malang.

(Based on the intelligence reports we received from our operatives, [they communicate] through messaging apps, and once they have had good communication or transactions for this, that’s when they exchange money and illegal contraband.)

“Itong mga high-value individuals na nahuli natin, ang kanilang area of operation ay dito nga sa Taguig City at mga nearby cities. Dito halos ang iniikutan ng kanilang network para dito sa pinagbabawal na droga na ito,” he added.

(Taguig City and other nearby cities are the areas of operation for the high-value individuals we have arrested. This is mostly where their network for these illegal contraband is located.)

The two suspects, who are currently detained at Camp Bagong Diwa, have yet to issue a statement. — Jiselle Anne C. Casucian/BM, GMA Integrated News
