Authorities reported that two siblings involved in illegal drug activities were nabbed in a buy-bust operation conducted by operatives of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) Thursday night which led to the confiscation of P408,000 worth of shabu.

Talipapa Police Station (PS 3) commanding officer P/Lt.Col. Bryan Angelo Pajarillo identified the suspects as Jonathan Dichoso and Jayson Dichoso.

Initial reports said that at 9:03 p.m. on 20 February 2025 at Jayson Dichoso’s residence, a joint buy-bust operation was conducted by the District Drug Enforcement Unit (DDEU), PS 3 and Masambong Police Station (PS 2), after PS 3 received information regarding the illegal drug activity of the suspect Jonathan.

A police officer posed as a poseur-buyer and bought P1,000 worth of shabu from Jonathan, and at the given pre-arranged signal, he was arrested together with his sibling, who was also present during the transaction.

Confiscated from the suspects were 60 grams of shabu valued at P408,000, a coin purse, four cellular phones and the buy-bust money.
