Three people were arrested Tuesday while six kilos of shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) worth about P27 million were seized in a buy-bust operation in Paco, Manila, police said Wednesday.In a statement, National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) chief Nicanor Bartolome identified the suspects as Wendun Chen alias Wilson Tan, 45, and Lianfu Chen, 56, both Chinese nationals; and Saidali Magdao Muliloda, 45.
Recovered from the suspects were three cell phones used in the transaction; a gray Nissan Cefiro (XMS-883) and a white Toyota Fortuner (ZFE-154); and some P10,000 in cash.
Bartolome said the prevention of street crimes and proliferation of illegal drugs remain as their top priorities.
“As much as possible, we prefer to be proactive rather than reactive. Six kilos of shabu is a lot, and the prevention of the proliferation of drugs in the streets is indeed a major accomplishment," he said.
The NCRPO said criminal cases are being readied against the suspects for violations of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 before the City Prosecutor's Office in Manila. - Jerrie Abella/KBK, GMANews.TV
