MANILA, Philippines — Anti-narcotics officers confiscated shabu valued at P1.11 million in Marikina City on Tuesday night.
The drugs were recovered from Mark Samuel Martin, 26; Percival Payumo, 31; Anthony Vistro, 45; Aya Roxas, 32, and a 17-year-old boy, National Capital Region Police Office director Maj. Gen. Jonnel Estomo said in a statement.
The suspects were apprehended by operatives of the Eastern Police District (EPD) in a sting in Barangay Concepcion Uno.
The suspects allegedly negotiated a drug deal with a police officer.
Apart from shabu, police also confiscated a motorcycle, which the suspects used during the transaction.
“I commend the unwavering effort of the EPD in our campaign against illegal drugs,” Estomo said.
