Colonel Randy Glenn Silvio, Laguna police chief, said in a report Thursday, Feb. 16, that anti-illegal drugs operatives held at 8:17 p.m. alias “Chelle” and “Ryan” after selling P30,000 worth of meth to a poseur buyer in Barangay San Cristobal.
Seized from the suspects were a plastic sachet and three knot-tied plastics containing shabu weighing 350 grams with an estimated Dangerous Drugs Board value of P2,380,000 at the standard P6,800 per gram.

Both suspects are under police custody and face charges of violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
