The Station Drug Enforcement Unit (SDEU) of Balanga City Police Station seized some P1.36-million worth of illegal drugs during a buy-bust operation at Barangay Tuyo, Balanga City, Bataan on 13 November 2025.
According to Bataan Police Provincial Office (BPPO) Provincial Director Police Col. Marites Salvadora, the said buy-bust operation also resulted in the arrest of alias MJ, a resident of Barangay Binukawan in the town of Bagac, Bataan.
Confiscated from the suspect were three knot-tied transparent plastic sachets containing suspected shabu weighing approximately 200 grams with an estimated standard drug price of P1,360,000.00, one red backpack, one black Samsung cellphone, one genuine P1,000 bill, and 39 pieces of counterfeit money used as buy-bust money.
The suspect is now under the custody of Balanga City Police while cases for violation of Sections 5 and 11, Article II of Republic Act 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002) are being prepared against him.
Salvadora emphasized that the successful confiscation of a large quantity of illegal drugs is a significant accomplishment that could save countless lives, as such substances destroy both the mental and physical well-being of individuals and fuel criminal activities.
