LUCENA CITY –– Police arrested two suspected “shabu” (crystal meth) peddlers, both newbies in the drug trade, in a buy-bust operation in this city Friday morning, police said.
Anti-illegal drugs operatives, acting on citizens’ tips, collared Marian Deriquito, 38, and Reynold Casipit, 24, after they sold shabu to an undercover police officer in a transaction in Barangay Mayao Crossing around 7:30 a.m., Lt. Colonel Romulo Albacea, Lucena police chief, said in a report.
The suspects, both included in the new drugs watch list, yielded eight plastic sachets of shabu worth P7,880 in the street market.
The arrests were the result of Oplan Sacleo or “Simultaneous Anti-Criminality Law Enforcement Operation.” Delfin T. Mallari Jr.
