SAN ANTONIO, Zambales — Four drug suspects were arrested inside an alleged drug den following a buy-bust operation in Barangay Sta. Rita, Olongapo City on Monday (April 11), police said.

Reports from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency said among the arrested suspects was the alleged drug den operator, identified as Jessie Ferreria, 35.

He was arrested along with his three companions, who were identified as John Marie Gabriel, 30; Francisco De Leon, 47; and Jayson Zapanta, 42.

The sting yielded seven heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets containing more or less 13 grams of alleged “shabu” (crystal meth) with an estimated street value of P89,700, assorted drug paraphernalia, and the buy-bust money.

They are now being detained and will face charges for violating the Comprehensive Drug Act of 2002.
