LUCENA CITY – Police arrested three alleged big-time drug pushers in a buy-bust operation in Lucena City shortly before midnight on Tuesday, police said.
Police drug agents collared Aldrin Camacho, Analyn Eusebio, and Allan Lebantino after they sold “shabu” (crystal meth) to an undercover police officer in Barangay Ibabang Iyam around 11:35 p.m., Supt. Reydante Ariza, Lucena police chief, said in a report.
Authorities seized 17 sachets of “shabu” weighing a total of 25.9 grams with estimated Dangerous Drugs Board value of P48,000.
The confiscated illegal drugs were worth P116,550 in the street market.
Police tagged the suspects as one of the major suppliers of shabu in the village and nearby areas.
The illegal activities of the suspects were tipped off to the authorities through “Project Blue Box,” receptacles found in every barangay, shopping mall, and other strategic areas around the city, and police hotline.
In another report, patrolling barangay watchmen caught five students while engaged in a pot session in Barangay Ibabang Dupay around 12:50 a.m. Wednesday.
The village guards confiscated several plastic sachets containing marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
The arrested students were detained at city police jail. /lzb
