Authorities have seized P173 million worth of suspected shabu hidden in tea bags during a buy-bust operation in Quezon City.
According to James Agustin’s “24 Oras” report on Wednesday, operatives of the Quezon City Police District Drug Enforcement Unit arrested the suspect and seized at least 25.5 kilograms of shabu with an estimated value of P173 million.“This is for the bigger network so ang network naman na ito ay na-map out na natin. Siya ang una sa maraming sunod sunod na mga operation na gagawin natin,” QCPD Director Police Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III said.
The QCPD said the suspect would deliver kilograms of illegal drugs to Metro Manila and nearby provinces as well as to Visayas and Mindanao.The police said they will investigate how the drugs were brought into the country. “Galing 'yan sa most probably nakikita natin mataas na porsyento galing sa labas ng bansa at 'yan ay pinupuslit dito gamit ang cover ng legal na mga items,” Torres said.
The National Capital Region Police Office warned those involved in the transaction of illegal drugs as more law enforcement operations will be conducted in the following days. “Sample pa lang po ito, expect more arrests,” NCRPO chief Police Brigadier General Jonnel Estomo said.— Richa Noriega/BM, GMA News
