LUCENA CITY – Two suspected drug traders were arrested during a buy-bust operation in Calamba City on Thursday, Feb. 24, and yielded more than P71,000 worth of “shabu” (crystal meth).

The Calabarzon police reported on Friday that anti-narcotics agents nabbed at around 11 p.m. Rogelio Ocampo and Mark Ryan Besande after they sold P500 worth of shabu to an undercover cop in Barangay Bucal.

Authorities found four sachets of crystal meth weighing 10.5 grams from the suspects.

Police said the seized illegal substance was worth P71,400 in the street market.

The suspect was detained and faced charges for violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
