3 suspects yield P3.4M meth in Laguna

LUCENA CITY — Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) operatives and local police seized more than P3.4 million worth of “shabu” (crystal meth) from three suspected big-time traffickers in a buy-bust operation on Wednesday (April 12) in Santa Rosa City, Laguna.

In a belated report on Thursday afternoon, the PDEA in Region 4A said the suspects—Romel Dela Cruz, 52, a volunteer firefighter; Romeo Acido, 49, a taxi driver; and Guillermo Dela Cruz, 52—were collared at the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant along Santa Rosa-Tagaytay City road in Barangay Don Jose on Wednesday night.
