Two more Alcala clan members nabbed in Quezon drugs bust


Two more members of the Alcala clan were arrested along with four other suspects during a buy-bust operation in Sariaya, Quezon, early Tuesday.

Arrested were siblings Sahjid and Cerolliriz Alcala, Joel Lambit, Noel Gabriel Abutin, Dona May Abastillas and Yumiko Angela Tan.

Sahjid had previously surrendered to the police last August with his father, Athel.

Athel is the brother of former Agriculture secretary Proceso Alcala.

Athel's wife and daughter had also been previously arrested in a buy-bust operation in Tayabas City last September.

The Quezon Police Provincial Office said the Alcala brothers were arrested in a buy-bust operation at the Wood Lanes Estates Phase 2 in Barangay Balubal at around 2:30 a.m.

Police said seized from the suspects were 62.30 grams of shabu and several drug paraphernalia.

Charges for violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act are being prepared against the suspects, who are currently detained at the Sariaya Municipal Police Station. —report from Peewee Bacuño/ALG, GMA News
