“According to the team leader, the suspects were extremely circumspect while transacting, and took them a month to arrange a drug deal with the suspects,” the PDEA Region 3 said, quoting the operation’s team leader.
Aside from some half a kilo of suspected shabu, the trio also allegedly yielded seven assorted mobile phones, car keys, and the marked money used by the poseur-buyer.
The suspects will face charges of violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, the agency added.
