Online seller, cohort nabbed in P1.3-M shabu bust


An online seller and her cohort were arrested after they yielded some P1.3 million worth of shabu during a police buy-bust operation in Paranaque City, Wednesday night.

Southern Police District (SPD) director Brig. Gen. Jimili Macaraeg identified the suspects as Hanan Tampipi, 19, an online seller and resident of San Pedro, Laguna; and Norayna Nanding, 19, of Paranaque City.

Operatives from the SPD-District Drug Enforcement Unit (DDEU), Muntinlupa and Paranaque Police Stations launched an entrapment operation against the two suspects at about 6 p.m. in Barangay San Antonio.

Macaraeg said the two women were cuffed after they sold about 200 grams of shabu in six transparent sachets to a poseur-buyer.

The suspects were charged with possession of illegal drugs and are now detained at SPD custodial facility.
