LUCENA CITY — Operatives from the Philippine National Police and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) have dismantled an alleged drug den and arrested three suspects in Bacoor City, Cavite.

A report posted by PDEA Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon) on its Facebook page on Tuesday afternoon, April 18, revealed that at around 8:15 p.m. on Monday, Jess Cea, 53; Marian Pamintuan, 52; and Julius Cea, 32, were arrested during a raid in a suspected drug den in Barangay (village) Kaingin.

Authorities seized 15 grams of shabu (crystal meth) worth P103,500 and various drug paraphernalia from the arrested suspects, all residents of the said village.

The report tagged Cea as the alleged drug den maintainer.

The three suspects were since detained, and cases for violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 are being prepared against them.
