Johaima Ali and Aiman Baraguir are arrested by Parañaque police in a buy-bust operation on Football Street Barangay San Antonio on April 13, Friday.
A 31-year-old man was arrested, with more than P100,000 worth of crystal meth (shabu) confiscated from him in a buy-bust operation in Parañaque early on Friday.
Aiman Baraguir was apprehended after he sold a sachet of shabu to an agent of the Parañaque police Station Drug Enforcement Team (SDET) posing as a buyer at 2 a.m. on Football Street, Barangay San Antonio.
Also arrested was Johaima Ali, 35, after she was caught buying a sachet of shabu worth P1,000 from Baraguir.
Police also seized 102 sachets of shabu worth about P102,000, said Senior Insp. Anthony Alising, chief of Parañaque SDET.
Alising said Baraguir was serving low-income users in the barangays of San Antonio, BF Homes and San Dionisio.
Police seize 102 sachets of shabu, worth P102,000 from suspected drug pusher Aiman Baraguir in a buy-bust operation on Football Street Barangay San Antonio on April 13, Friday.
The suspect sourced his shabu from suppliers in Barangay Maharlika Village in Taguig, the police official added.
Baraguir’s selling price of P1,000 per sachet was “too expensive” as sachets of shabu in the area could be bought for as low as P200.
“Pushers here are selling higher nowadays as authorities were able to cut their supply lines,” Alising said, noting continuous drug operations in the city.
The suspects were both detained at the Parañaque police station. Ali would be charged with illegal drug possession, while Baraguir would be booked for drug pushing.
