A plumber was arrested after he was reportedly caught with suspected shabu at the kitchen of the Quezon City Police District Station 12 in Barangay Bagumbayan, Quezon City last Saturday.
Police identified the suspect as Peter Bryan de Leon, 42, of Barangay Kamuning, Quezon City.
De Leon was tapped to repair water leaks at the QCPD Station 12.
Two policemen were conducting routine area security inspection and caught De Leon holding a sachet of shabu and a lighter at the station’s kitchen at around 6:30 p.m.
The plumber, who was caught off-guard, seemed uneasy and hurriedly hid the items.
De Leon was arrested after he was asked to empty his pocket and yielded a sachet of shabu and a lighter.
The suspect is now under police custody and will face charges for violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
