QCPD drug bust nets P1.6-M shabu
Authorities in Quezon City have arrested a 21-year-old man, Ricardo Dominique Del Mundo, for possessing P1.6 million worth of illegal drugs.
The arrest took place on Friday in Barangay Bahay Toro during a buy-bust operation conducted by the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).
The operation was initiated following a tip from a confidential informant who reported the suspect's illegal drug activities.
An undercover police operative successfully purchased P5,000 worth of shabu from Del Mundo, leading to his immediate apprehension.
Confiscated from the suspect were approximately 240 grams of crystal meth valued at P1,632,000, along with a bag and the marked money used in the sting operation.
Del Mundo is currently detained by the police and will face charges for violating Republic Act 9165, also known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
