LUCENA CITY – Police arrested three drug suspects in buy-bust operations in Sto. Tomas City in Batangas province on Sunday.
Sto. Tomas police, in a report, identified the suspects as Allan Paul Buena, 32; Maria Socorro Malabanan, 29; and Angela Alonzo, 37, all alleged suppliers of shabu (crystal meth) to drug users in Barangay (village) San Isidro Sur.

Earlier, policemen also collared Malabanan in another part of the village around 6:40 p.m. and Buena some two hours earlier.
The three suspects yielded a total of 16 plastic sachets of meth. But the report did not state the total volume and street value of the confiscated shabu.
