An initial report from Marikina police showed that Steve Verso, 21, was arrested in his house in Barangay Tumana as he yielded 10 sachets of suspected crystal meth or shabu. The P500 used as marked money in the operation, as well as a black wallet, were also recovered from the suspect.

Verso was brought to the Eastern Police District’s PNP Crime Laboratory for examination. He will be facing charges in violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.                        /kga
