LUCENA CITY — Police nabbed a “high-value” target and seized P1.5 million worth of high-grade marijuana leaves or “kush” in a buy-bust operation on Thursday, March 9, in Antipolo City.
In a report Friday, the Police Region 4A said anti-illegal drugs operatives collared early Thursday Ardenel Andaya, after he sold P1,000 worth of “kush” to a poseur buyer in Barangay Mambugan.
Authorities then seized a kilo of high-grade marijuana leaves worth P1,500,000 in the street market.
The police were conducting further investigation to determine the source of the prohibited high-grade hemp.
Andaya was on the drug watch list as a high-value individual in the government’s war against illegal drugs.
