Operatives of Philippine Drug enforcement Agency – Zambales Provincial Office, and police personnel identified the suspects as Hajiraya Ibnohali @Ajing, 48, resident of Purok 6B, Calapacuan, Subic, Zambales who is said to be the maintainer of the drug den, Sheila Gatos @Dimple, 33, resident of 12th St. New Kalalake, Olongapo City; Rita Garcia, 33, and Rocky Arpilleda, 35, both of Upper Kalaklan, Olongapo City.
The raiders confiscated four heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets containing 13 grams of suspected shabu amounting to P89,700, assorted drug paraphernalia and the marked money used by the poseur buyer during buy-bust.
