3 arrested, P5M worth of shabu seized in drug sting in Muntinlupa

From gmanetwork.com:

Three suspected drug pushers were arrested while some P5 million worth of suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) was seized in a sting operation in Muntinlupa City Wednesday afternoon.

Wednesday’s buy-bust operation was held at the parking area of a mall in the Alabang Muntinlupa area, radio dzBB’s Sam Nielsen reported.

Philippine National Police Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Force spokesman Roque Merdegia Jr. told dzBB radio they acted on a tip that the suspects sold drugs in southern Metro Manila and southern Luzon.

The PNP-AIDSOTF cordoned off the van the suspects used – an old Besta-type van with license plate XCK-264.

Merdegia said they will now check the source of the drugs used by the suspects.

He voiced concerns the gang plans to sell drugs during the Christmas season. — Joel Locsin/VC, GMA News
