Colonel Ledon Monte, Quezon police chief, said in reports on Wednesday, Oct. 25, that members of the local police drug enforcement unit in this city nabbed a pusher identified as “Owel/Datu” in a buy-bust operation at 4:48 p.m. in Barangay Kanlurang Mayao.

Seized from the suspect were four sachets of meth weighing 20.60 grams worth  P140,140 in Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) valuation, Monte said in the report.

The drug haul was worth P420,2407 on the street market at P20,400 per gram, the report added.

Police tagged the suspect as a “high-value individual” in the local drug trade.

In Lopez town, police anti-narcotic agents busted at 5:45 p.m. alias “Dorot,” 61, in Barangay Danlagan.
