Gov’t takes over Cavite beach resort used as ‘shabu’ laboratory
A beach resort in Cavite that was raided and found to have been used as a “shabu” (methamphetamine hydrochloride) laboratory had been forfeited in favor of the government, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) said.
The AMLC said acting presiding Judge Emily R. Aliño-Geluz of Trece Martires City Regional Trial Court Branch 23 ordered on Nov. 4 the forfeiture of a 2,572-square meter beachfront property in Tanza, Cavite, and the defendant’s bank account.
According to AMLC, the beach resort was owned by Li Lan Yan aka Jackson Dy, Jackson Lozano, Allan Lee and Allan Sy. The property consisted of four parcels of land.
The Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Force raided the beach resort and dismantled the shabu laboratory. Li Lan Yan, together with some members of the drug syndicate, was charged with violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 (Republic Act No. 9165) before the Cavite court.
