A foreigner, who was among those who eluded arrest when anti-narcotics operatives raided a shabu laboratory in Pampanga in 2016, was arrested by police in a follow-up operation in Nueva Ecija.
Police Brig. Gen. Valeriano de Leon, director of the Central Luzon regional police, said 45-year-old suspect Kunsheng Chen was tracked down in Barangay San Roque in San Isidro Wednesday based on tip-offs and intelligence-gathering. He is facing two counts of violations of Anti-Money Laundering Law.
Kungsheng was among those tagged as operators and maintainers of a shabu laboratory that was hidden inside a piggery in Magalang, Pampanga on Sept. 17, 2016. The laboratory was deliberately set up inside a piggery to cover the stench smell of shabu.
Seven Chinese were arrested during the operation and Kunsheng was later identified as one of the members operating the laboratory.
The shabu laboratory was ironically near a police training center and a drug rehabilitation center. (Aaron Recuenco)
