By Authorities arrested an alleged high-value drug suspect who worked as a street food vendor and seized an estimated P6.8 million worth of shabu (crystal meth) during a buy-bust operation in Biñan City, Laguna, on Friday.
In a belated report, the Police Regional Office 4A (PRO-4A) said personnel from its Drug Enforcement Unit, in coordination with agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Region 4A, arrested the suspect, identified only by the alias “Renan,” after he allegedly sold shabu to an undercover officer in Barangay San Antonio at around 6:10 a.m.
Authorities said the suspect, who reportedly earns a living as a vendor of “pares” (braised beef stew), was found in possession of a plastic sachet containing about 1,000 grams of suspected shabu.
