LUCENA CITY — Operatives from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and police on Sunday dismantled an alleged drug den and arrested 10 suspects in Nasugbu, Batangas.

The PDEA Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon) said anti-illegal drug operatives conducted a buy-bust operation in Barangay Lumbangan around 2 a.m.

The operation led to the arrest of “Bioman,” “Wong,” and “Pido,” all of whom are on the police drug watch list.

In addition to the three suspects, operatives also arrested “Edgardo,” “Michael,” “Pin,” “Mark,” “Joseph,” “Edison,” and “Angelito” during the raid.

Authorities seized 10 grams of “shabu” (crystal meth) worth P69,000, along with assorted drug-sniffing paraphernalia.

The 10 suspects were detained, and cases of violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 are being prepared against them.
