A 47-year-old woman was arrested and more than P635,000 worth of suspected shabu was seized during the implementation of a search warrant by the Las Piñas City Police Station's Station Drug Enforcement Unit (SDEU) on Monday, July 13.
Las Piñas Police chief Col. Fermin Armendarez identified the suspect only as "Rodelyn," who was arrested at around 8:35 p.m. inside her residence along Tabon Road I, Maralita, Barangay Daniel Fajardo.
Armendarez said the search warrant was implemented after the suspect was allegedly identified by police as a street-level individual and the reported source of illegal drugs in the community.
The search warrant was issued by Judge Pia Cristina B. Bersamin-Embuscado of the Las Piñas Regional Trial Court, Branch 198.
Police said operatives recovered one knot-tied transparent plastic bag and two heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets containing about 93.5 grams of suspected shabu with an estimated street value of P635,800.
The suspect is being held at the Las Piñas City Police custodial facility and will face charges for violation of Section 11, Article II of Republic Act No. 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
