More than P100,000 worth of suspected shabu was seized from two suspects during a buy-bust operation in Barangay San Dionisio, Parañaque City early Friday morning.

Arrested were alias Alfred, 20; and alias Christian, 24—both identified as non-members of any monitored groups.

The operation was carried out at around 2 a.m. along El Filibusterismo Street, Barangay San Dionisio, Parañaque City.

Investigation disclosed that operatives of the Parañaque City Police Station's Drug Enforcement Unit launched the anti-illegal drug operation following reports regarding the suspects’ alleged involvement in illegal drug activities.
