Recently in the City of Parañaque, local police officers successfully organized a buy-bust operation that resulted in the apprehension of two suspects and the seizure of marijuana worth P375,000, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…
Two men were arrested after police seized around 250 grams of high-grade marijuana or “kush” valued at P375,000 during a buy-bust operation in Parañaque City early Sunday morning, Aug. 23.
The suspects, both 24, were identified as Paul, a resident of Barangay Moonwalk, and Mikko, of Barangay San Isidro.
Police said operatives of the Station Drug Enforcement Unit (SDEU) of the Parañaque City Police Station conducted the operation at around 3:20 a.m. at a residence on Daang Batang Street in Barangay Moonwalk.
Police said an undercover officer successfully purchased suspected kush from the suspects before the arresting team moved in.
The operation resulted in the recovery of several sachets and plastic bags containing suspected high-grade marijuana weighing approximately 250 grams valued at P375,000.
Police also recovered the P1,000 marked money used in the transaction, a smartphone, and an (eco-bag) allegedly used to carry the suspected illegal drugs.
Authorities are preparing charges against Paul for violation of Section 5 (sale) and Section 11 (possession) of Article II of Republic Act No. 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
