Recently in the city of Las Piñas, a successful buy-bust operation organized by the local police resulted in the arrest of an online seller who yielded almost P200,000 worth of illegal drugs, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin’s news report. Some parts in boldface…
A woman online seller yielded over P189,000 worth of “shabu” in a buy-bust operation conducted by members of the Las Piñas police Station Drug Enforcement Unit (SDEU) on Wednesday, Oct. 25.
The Southern Police District (SPD) said Col. Jaime Santos, Las Piñas police chief, reported the arrest of alias “Maria,” 23, an online seller of grocery items.
Santos said the suspect was arrested at around 1:50 a.m. along Upper Laong Almanza Uno, Las Piñas City.
He said members of the SDEU conducted the buy-bust operation by contacting the suspect online and pretending to buy grocery items.
The city police chief said members of the SDEU were able to confiscate from the suspect about 27.8 grams of alleged shabu amounting to P189,040.
Aside from the recovered “shabu,” members of the SDEU also confiscated one Huawwei Nova 5T model cellphone, black coin purse and three P100 bills used as buy bust money from the suspect.
The confiscated shabu was brought at the SPD Forensic Unit for drug testing and analysis.

Was there a chance you bought groceries from the suspect before? Are you thankful for the police over their recent buy-bust operation?
