Over P1.2 million worth of “shabu” (crystal meth) was seized in a drug bust by Quezon City police from two men who are allegedly notorious drug peddlers in at least three cities in the metropolis.

The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) identified the suspects as Samim Mapandi, 29, and Junarie Basher, 26. Both are natives of Lanao del Sur province and are reportedly living in Manila.

Chief Insp. Ferdinand Mendoza, chief of QCPD’s drug enforcement unit, said the two suspects were some of the biggest suppliers of illegal drugs in Quezon City, Pasay City and Manila.
