LUCENA CITY — Anti-narcotics operatives arrested two alleged neophyte drug traders and seized over P113,000 worth of shabu (crystal meth) during a buy-bust operation Sunday, Feb. 12, in Sariaya town in Quezon province.
Joffer Magsino, 26, and Gilbert Reynoso, 39, were collared by the members of Sariaya police drug enforcement unit at 11:20 p.m. after they sold P1,000 worth of meth to a poseur buyer in Barangay Gibanga, Colonel Ledon Monte, Quezon police chief, said in a report Monday.
The police said the suspects, who were not on the drug watch list, allegedly yielded seven sachets of shabu worth P113,424 in the street market.
The police are investigating further to determine the source of the illegal drugs.
Anonymous callers tipped the police about the illegal activities of the suspects.
Both suspects were detained and faced complaints for violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. INQ
