They were caught transacting illegal drugs inside a gray Mitsubishi Mirage G4, leading to the seizure of 45 grams of suspected shabu with an estimated value of P603,000.
Police Regional Office 3 director Brig. Gen Jean S. Fajardo commended the dedication of Central Luzon police operatives in their “relentless pursuit” against illegal drugs.
“Our operatives are working 24/7 to hunt down drug traffickers and ensure that our communities remain safe. These operations demonstrate our firm resolve to dismantle drug networks and bring perpetrators to justice,” said Fajardo.
