LUCENA CITY — Police arrested an alleged notorious shabu (crystal meth) peddler in a buy-bust operation in this city early afternoon Saturday.
Anti-illegal drug operatives nabbed Louiji Mogol, 34, after he sold P500 worth of shabu to an undercover police officer who posed as the buyer in the bust in Barangay Ibabang Dupay at 12:45 p.m., Police Lieutenant Colonel Romulo Albacea, Lucena police chief, said in a report.
The suspect, who is included in the police list of notorious street-level drug pushers, yielded 25.56 grams of shabu with an estimated Dangerous Drugs Board value of P173,808, a digital weighing scale, and other shabu use paraphernalia.
Police said concerned citizens and rehabilitated drug users informed the authorities of the suspect’s illegal activities.
Mogol is now detained at the Lucena City police headquarters as charges for violation of Republic Act No. 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 are being readied against him.
