MANILA, Philippines — Anti-narcotics operatives have arrested four alleged drug peddlers and supposedly seized from them some P27.2 million worth of suspected crystal meth or “shabu” in Quezon City.

Members of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency-National Capital Region and La Loma police station launched the anti-illegal drug operation at Biak na Bato corner Cuenco Street, according to police.
An undercover police agent bought shabu from the suspects, who were consequently arrested after handing over the marked money.
