Police seized Wednesday morning a total of P10.1 million worth of suspected shabu from four alleged drug personalities, including a student, in Malabon City.
Col. Jessie Tamayao, Malabon police chief, identified the suspects as Remel de Jesus, 29; Jhay Camposano, 31; Rizza Mae Pabon, 20; and Jufirst Soguilon, 26, a third year college student.
Brig. Gen. Ronaldo Ylagan, Northern Police District director, said De Jesus and Camposano were previously arrested for drug charges. They were released after posting bail.
Tamayao said that the drug bust was conducted at the corner of P. Aquino and Dr. Lascano Streets in Barangay Tugatog around 4 a.m., where the suspects and the poseur-buyer agreed to meet.
After the consummation of the transaction, the four were immediately arrested.
Police seized 11 plastic sachets containing suspected shabu inside the suspects’ car, and one Chinese green tea pack also containing the same substance from De Jesus. The suspected illegal drugs had a total weight of 1.48 kilos.
Authorities also recovered from the suspects a Nissan X-Trail with plate number RHH 597.
De Jesus said that he owned the drugs but stressed that he was just asked to deliver them.
Tamayao said they are looking into possible connection of the suspects to a bigger syndicate delivering drugs in Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela areas. (Joseph Pedrajas)
