The suspects were apprehended after selling suspected illegal drugs to an undercover police operative during a buy-bust operation conducted by a poseur-buyer and other operatives of the station's drug enforcement unit.

Authorities seized several sachets of suspected shabu from the suspects weighing approximately 120 grams with a standard drug price of L816,0000.
