The operation was documented using body cameras in the presence of witnesses.
The suspects are now detained at the Binangonan Municipal Police Station custodial facility.
They face charges for violating Sections 5 and 11, Article II of Republic Act No. 9165, the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act. (Mandie Asejo)
