Drug suspect killed; P1 million shabu seized

MANILA, Philippines — A ”high-value” drug suspect was killed in a sting in Barangay Salvacion 2nd, Lupao, Nueva Ecija on Wednesday.

Col. Marvin Joe Saro, provincial police director, said Israel Domingo, a resident of Cabanatuan City, resisted arrest after transacting with undercover agents and opened fire.

In Bataan, 250 grams of shabu with an estimated street value of P1 million were seized from a sales agent in Barangay Ibayo, also on Wednesday.

Col. Jesus Rebua, Bataan police director, did not identify the suspect pending follow-up operations against his cohorts.

Rebua said two guns with Philippine National Police markings and marked money were recovered from the suspect.
