P20.4M shabu seized in Zamboanga City sting operation

Three individuals, including a police officer and a Philippine Coast Guard member, were arrested in Zamboanga City for a drug sting operation that yielded P13.6 million worth of shabu on September 18.

Subsequently, on September 21, a separate buy-bust operation in Barangay Talisayan, Zamboanga City, led to the arrest of three more suspects and the seizure of P20.4 million worth of shabu.

The suspects in the second operation are identified as a 34-year-old from Bongao, Tawi-Tawi, and two individuals aged 22 and 36 from Pata, Sulu.

Anti-narcotics agents conducted the second operation in Sitio San Ramon after the suspects sold three kilos of shabu to undercover police agents.

The Police Regional Office-9 confirmed that both operations were supported by the Zamboanga City Police Station 9 and the Naval Intelligence Security Group-Western Mindanao.

Drug charges are being prepared against the suspects from both operations.
