Recovered from the suspects – a 41-year-old man and his 28-year-old live-in partner – were 110 grams of suspected shabu valued at P748,000.
Police Capt. Joven Mogato, City Drug Enforcement Unit (CDEU) head, said they conducted monitoring on the couple after receiving information on their illegal activities.
The man was the subject of the operation and considered a high-value individual.
Mogato said the woman was arrested for a drug offense in 2015 but her case was dismissed.
In 2022, the couple was apprehended for the same offense in Sipalay City, Negros Occidental but the case was dropped.
The couple faces drug-related charges.
