Recently in the City of Parañaque, local police officers apprehended a high-value individual and seized illegal substances worth over P1 million, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin report. Some parts in boldface…
A high-value individual (HVI) was arrested and more than P1 million worth of suspected shabu was seized during a buy-bust operation conducted by the Parañaque City Police early Monday, July 14.
Parañaque City Police Chief Col. Nicolas Pinon identified the suspect only by his alias “Jojie,” 27, who was apprehended at around 12:20 a.m. along Los Angeles Street in Barangay San Dionisio, Parañaque City.
Pinon said operatives of the Station Drug Enforcement Unit (SDEU) launched the operation after receiving information that the suspect was allegedly engaged in the illegal drug trade and had been classified by the police as a high-value individual operating in the city.
During the operation, an undercover police officer successfully purchased suspected shabu from the suspect.
After the transaction was completed, the arresting team immediately converged on the area and arrested “Jojie.”
Confiscated from the suspect were several heat-sealed sachets and knot-tied plastic bags containing about 150 grams of suspected shabu with an estimated standard drug price of P1,020,000, a black pouch, the marked buy-bust money, and other pieces of evidence.
The seized items were turned over to the Parañaque City Police Station for proper documentation and laboratory examination, while the suspect was placed under police custody pending the filing of charges.
