OLONGAPO CITY — Two drug suspects evaded arrest when police raided an alleged drug den in Masinloc, Zambales on Wednesday.

Armando de Guzman and Benbenido Escala, both residents of Barangay (village) Sta. Rita in Masinloc, Zambales abandoned their house when police arrived to serve a search warrant, said PO3 Jesus Antiguo, an investigator of the Masinloc police station.

He said they recovered three plastic sachets containing alleged shabu (metamphetamine hydrochloride), drug paraphernalia, and a caliber .38 revolver from the suspects’ house.
