Police identified the suspects as John, 29, e-bike driver, and Ellan, 36, construction worker, both residents of Barangay 10.
Police Lt. Col. Antonio Benitez Jr., CDEU head, said that the suspects were tagged as high-value individuals due to the volume of recovered shabu.
Benitez said that the suspects were monitored for a month before the operation was conducted.
John was previously arrested for a drug offense and was later released through a plea bargaining agreement.
Benitez said that John will be charged for sale and illegal possession of dangerous drugs while Ellan will face a conspiracy case. The suspects are detained at Police Station 2.
