Operatives from the Philippine National Police-Drug Enforcement Group (PNP-DEG) on Sunday said they arrested two high-value individuals and seized over P700-million worth of suspected meth, commonly known as ‘shabu,’ during a weekend drug bust in Plaridel, Bulacan.
In a statement, PDEG Director BGen. Edwin Quilates said the suspects—a 55-year-old Chinese and a 40-year-old Filipino—were arrested in Barangay Bulihan, Plaridel on Saturday. The anti-drug agents confiscated approximately 103 kilograms of shabu and other evidence.
The suspects were brought to the PNP-DEG Special Operations Unit-National Capital Region office for documentation and proper disposition. The seized drugs will be turned over to the forensic group for laboratory examination.
Quilates advised the anti-drug operatives to continue upholding the highest standards of service, integrity and excellence.
“Your accomplishment inspires the entire police force and reinforces our resolve in the campaign against illegal drugs,” he said.
