LUCENA CITY — Police arrested three drug suspects on Thursday, Oct. 20, and seized P204,000 worth of shabu (crystal meth) in buy-bust operations in Cavite and Rizal provinces.

Anti-narcotics agents in Dasmariñas City, Cavite, nabbed Anthony Iglesia and John Mauro Desaville at 11:50 p.m. after selling a pack of shabu to a poseur buyer in Barangay Burol Main.

Authorities seized three sachets of shabu weighing 15 grams valued  at about P102,000.

The police said Iglesia was on the drug watch list as a high-value individual in the local drug scene and an alleged member of a group of shabu peddlers.

In Cainta town, Rizal, a senior high school student was collared for alleged drug pushing.

Colonel Dominic Baccay, Rizal police chief, reported that members of the police drug enforcement unit nabbed the student at 7:35 a.m. after he sold shabu to an undercover cop in a transaction at Don Celso Tuason Avenue in Barangay San Juan.

The Rizal Provincial Police Office identified the suspect as a certain Kraven Blu Lompero y Postrero, 18, or alias ‘Blu,’ a senior high school student who lives in Cainta Rizal.

Police said the buy-bust was conducted after they received a tip that a certain alias “Blu” was involved in delivering and selling illegal drugs in the area.

Seized from Postrero were 12 sachets containing alleged shabu worth P102,000, a motorcycle, and the buy-bust money.

Postrero is being held at the Cainta Custodial Facility.
