A fast-food crew member was arrested Saturday afternoon for illegal drugs in Barangay Bangkal, Makati City.

Police identified the suspect as Berjer Despabiladeras, 21, a resident of Barangay 4,  Salud and  FB Harrison Streets in Pasay City.

Two small plastic sachets containing a white crystalline substance suspected to be shabu (crystal meth) and three pieces plastic sachets of suspected marijuana were recovered from the suspect, authorities said.

According to police reports, the desk officer at the Makati City Police Station received a telephone call from a certain Guia, the manager of a  fast-food chain in the city, seeking police assistance.

The suspect, according to authorities, left his bag on top of a table containing sachets of suspected shabu and marijuana, and was  reportedly discovered by the guard during an inspection.
