The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency has seized less than a kilo of shabu worth P6.8 million worth in Manila.
Anti-narcotics operatives also arrested suspected big-time pushers identified as Talicop Saipoding Pumbaya, Mahdi Sodeit Salic, Maromaya Johary Mamocarao and Sultan Saipoden Alnao in a buy-bust operation.
Last June 3 at around 5:30 p.m., PDEA agents conducted an entrapment operation at a hotel in Barangay 669, District 5.
The suspects received the buy-bust money in exchange for more or less one kilo of shabu inside an unsealed transparent plastic bag and Guanyinwang tea packaging with an estimated street value of P6.8 million.
Authorities immediately swooped down on the suspects.
The suspects would be charged for violations of Section 5 (Sale of Dangerous Drugs) and Section 26 (Attempt or Conspiracy) in Article II of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
