The Southern Police District announced on Thursday the arrest of two individuals and the seizure of over P8 million worth of shabu during a buy-bust operation in Makati City.
Operatives from the Makati City Police Station Drug Enforcement Unit (SDEU) conducted the operation around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday in Barangay San Antonio, leading to the arrest of two suspects identified only by their aliases, ‘Wewel’ and ‘Madam,’ both aged 28.
During the operation, police seized 1,300 grams of shabu, a mobile phone, a red and black shoe bag, an eco-bag, as well as the cash and boodle money used in the entrapment. This operation followed surveillance and information provided by police assets about the suspects’ illegal activities.
The suspects are now in police custody and will face charges for violations of Sections 5 and 11 of Republic Act No. 9165, also known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
SPD Director Brig. Gen. Manuel Abrugena commended Makati City Police Station Commander Col. Jean Dela Torre and the SDEU operatives for their outstanding performance. He emphasized the importance of sustained efforts against illegal drug activities.
