Police nabbed four persons, including three minors, after they were allegedly caught in a pot session in an apartment in Barangay Gen. T. de Leon in Valenzuela City last Friday.
Police identified the suspects as Jayson Angelo dela Peña, 18, out-of-school youth, resident of the area; and “Jay,” 17; “Carl,” 17; and “Drin,” 17.
Investigation showed that elements of the Valenzuela City Police Station Drug Enforcement Unit received a tip that the suspects were reportedly smoking marijuana in an apartment at about 9:30 p.m.
The concerned citizen accompanied the police to the apartment, where they allegedly saw the suspects engaged in a pot session.
Five sachets of suspected marijuana weighing 200 grams and worth about P24,000 and assorted drug paraphernalia were seized from the suspects.
The confiscated pieces of evidence and the suspects were brought to the Northern Police District Crime Laboratory Office in Caloocan City for laboratory examination and drug testing.
Dela Peña may face charges for violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, police said. (Minka Tiangco)
