Police seized Thursday night P10.2 million worth of suspected shabu in a buy-bust operation against two individuals in Valenzuela City.
The Valenzuela City Police Station (VCPS) arrested Ernesto Francisco, 49, and Genelyn Mararac, 33, both residents of Barangay Ugong, Valenzuela City.
The Northern Police District (NPD) public information office said anti-narcotics unit of the VCPS first conducted a surveillance against the duo for about a week after receiving information regarding their activities.
Despite the big drug haul, the NPD added that the suspects are not connected to a drug syndicate.
During the operation at the suspects’ residence around 10:30 p.m., police confiscated a total of 1.5 kilo of suspected shabu placed in several plastic sachets.
Authorities also recovered P15,000 cash and various drug paraphernalia from the suspects.
The suspects will be charged with sale and possession of illegal drugs, police said.
