The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) reported Tuesday that its District Drug Enforcement Unit (DDEU) arrested two drug suspects and confiscated P169,524 worth of suspected shabu during a buy-bust operation in Barangay Vasra, Quezon City.

The suspects were identified as alias “Harvey,” 30, and alias “Raymond,” 36, both residents of Barangay Vasra.

According to the QCPD report, DDEU operatives conducted the operation on Monday, May 18 at 4:10 PM in front of a fast-food restaurant along Visayas Avenue corner Forestry Street following information from a concerned citizen regarding the suspects’ alleged illegal drug activities.

During the operation, an undercover officer acting as a poseur-buyer successfully purchased ₱31,500 worth of shabu from the suspects.

After the pre-arranged signal was given, operatives immediately arrested the suspects.

Police records showed that alias “Harvey” had a previous case for violating Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. 

Meanwhile, the QCPD reported both suspects will face charges for the same violation following their arrest by the authorities.
