P104K worth of shabu confiscated from three suspects in QC early Wednesday

The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) seized 15.3 grams of shabu worth P104,040 from three suspected drug personalities during a buy-bust operation in Barangay Talipapa, Quezon City, early Wednesday morning.

The suspects were identified by their aliases as “Idol,” 38 years old; “Christian,” 27 years old; both residents of Barangay Talipapa, Quezon City; and “Lester,” 25 years old, a resident of Barangay Ugong, Valenzuela City.

Operatives of the District Drug Enforcement Unit (DDEU) conducted the operation along C-5 Road, Mindanao Extension Southbound in Barangay Talipapa, following information from a concerned citizen regarding the suspects’ alleged involvement in illegal drug activities.

During the operation, an undercover police officer acting as a poseur-buyer purchased shabu worth P28,500 from the suspects. Upon the execution of the pre-arranged signal, the operatives immediately arrested the three suspects at 2:22 a.m. on 11 November.

Seized during the operation were 15.3 grams of shabu with an estimated standard drug price of P104,040, a cigarette box, and the buy-bust money.

Record verification revealed that alias “Idol” had previous police records for homicide, theft, robbery, violations of city ordinances, alarms and scandals, resistance and disobedience to a person in authority, and violation of Republic Act No. 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.

The QCPD said suspects will face appropriate complaints for alleged violations of RA No. 9165 before the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office.
