Two female drug suspects were arrested by members of the Parañaque police Station Drug Enforcement Unit (SDEU) during a buy-bust operation on New Years’ Day.
Col. Renato Ocampo, city police chief, identified the suspects as Lanie Kusain, 22; and Sophia Andatun, 23.
Ocampo said the suspects were arrested around 3:25 p.m. along Headline St., Fourth Estate, Barangay San Antonio, Parañaque City.
The city police chief said members of SDEU conducted the drug buy-bust operation after receiving numerous complaints on the alleged drug activity of the suspects.
Ocampo said SDEU members were able to confiscate from the suspects 55 grams of shabu worth P 374,000.00 placed inside a brown shoulder bag and the P1,000 buy-bust money.
He said the confiscated shabu was turned over to the Southern Police District Forensic Unit for chemical analysis.
The arrested suspects are now detained at the police custodial facility and were charged with illegal possession of drugs.
