LUCENA CITY –– Police arrested a suspected drug pusher in a buy-bust operation here early Monday, police said.

Lt. Col. Romulo Albacea, Lucena police chief, said in a report that anti-illegal drug operatives collared Rolly Rodriguez, 42, after he sold a pack of shabu (crystal meth) to undercover police in a drug deal in Barangay 10 around 1:20 a.m.

Reformed drug users tipped off authorities on the illegal drug pushing activity of the suspect, police said.
