Police operatives arrested two individuals in a buy-bust operation that yielded P1.7 million worth of shabu at a residence in Purok Gonzaga, Barangay Taculing in Bacolod City before midnight Nov. 6.
The suspects were identified as alias “Herliza”, 27, and her companion “Judy”, 30.
A report by the Bacolod City Police Office said “Herliza” sold a sachet of shabu, worth P1,000 to an undercover operative of the City Drug Enforcement Unit (CDEU).
Operatives later recovered from the suspects nine sachets and three knot-tied plastic bags of the same prohibited substance, weighing about 250 grams and valued at P6,800 per gram.
“Herliza” will be charged for violation of Section 5 (sale of dangerous drugs) and Section 11 (possession of dangerous drugs) and “Judy”, for violation of sections 11 and 26 (attempt or conspiracy), of Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
The Wednesday night drug haul followed a major operation of the CDEU Nov. 1, which led to the arrest of two suspects, who yielded P3.4 million worth of shabu in Purok Kabuhi, Barangay 10. | PNA
