The SPD did not release the names of the suspects, owing to a new policy implemented by the district. Confiscated during the operation were four plastic sachets containing suspected shabu, weighing 100 grams with an estimated value of P680,000, P500 bill used as buy-bust money on top of six pieces of P1,000 boodle money, two cell phones and cash amounting to P1,500. The police will file a complaint against the suspects for violation of Section 2 of Republic Act 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002), specifically Section 5 (Sale, Trading, Administration, Dispensation, Delivery, Distribution, and Transportation of Dangerous Drugs and/or Controlled Precursors and Essential Chemicals), Section 11 (Possession of Dangerous Drugs), and Section 26 (Conspiracy to Commit Violations of Section 5). “The SPD remains committed to its mandate of eradicating the drug menace within the region,” said SPD chief Brig. Gen. Kirby John Kraft.
