A cookie jar seized by policemen in a buy-bust operation in Quezon City revealed a more addictive product inside – 200 grams of shabu worth P1.3 million.
Two drug suspects were arrested during the buy-bust in Brgy. San Martin de Porres.
The suspects – a 24-year-old woman and a 22-year-old man from Pampanga, were caught after they sold P50,000 worth of drugs to an operative.
The drugs, which reportedly came from Cavite, were hidden in a cookie jar, police said.
“Their area of operation is in their original place where they actually live in Angeles, Pampanga. It seems they are operating here and selling the drugs here too,” said Maj. Alexander Tenorio, deputy station commander of the Cubao Police.
According to the female suspect, she was only asked to deliver the item in exchange for P20,000.
“I was only ordered to send it. I was desperate as I have a huge debt to pay. That is why I accepted the job,” she said in Filipino.
The male suspect, on the other hand, insisted he had nothing to
do with the transaction: “I was just accompanying her because she had no one with her. I had no idea that she was doing such a transaction.”
The two will face charges for violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.
