Parañaque City policemen have arrested three suspected drug dealers and seized over P1.4 million worth of shabu during a buy-bust operation early Tuesday morning in Barangay San Dionisio.
The operation was in line with the broader anti-drug campaign launched by the Southern Police District (SPD) under its director, Brig. Gen. Joseph Arguelles.
Parañaque City police commander Col. Melvin Montante led his men in the entrapment operation resulting in the arrest of the three suspects identified through their aliases: Ace,19; MJ; and Wawa, 21.
Seized from the suspects were 210 grams of shabu valued at P14 million, a mobile phone, a sling bag, and the marked money used in the operation. Joel E. Zurbano
Arguelles said the operation reflects the SPD’s sustained drive to disrupt the illegal drug trade in close coordination with the directives of PNP chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III and Metro Manila Police director Brig. Gen. Anthony Aberin.
“Our intensified operations will continue to target individuals and networks responsible for distribution of drugs,” he said, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in reporting suspicious activities.
