Navotas, Valenzuela ops yield drug peddlers

Authorities arrested two suspected drug pushers in separate buy-bust operations Saturday morning in Navotas and Valenzuela cities.

In Navotas City, operatives from the Navotas Philippine National Police’s Station Drug Enforcement Unit apprehended a 22-year-old male identified as “Clarence,” who is considered a high-value individual in the drug trade.

Police recovered approximately 100.1 grams of suspected shabu, or methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of P680,680. The illegal drugs were found in three heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets.

The Northern Police District (NPD) reported that Clarence is also on the drug watchlist for Barangay NBBS Proper.
