BALANGA CITY — Police arrested two alleged big-time drug traffickers and confiscated suspected shabu with standard drug price of P1.02 million in an operation in Barangay Townsite in Mariveles, Bataan Sunday.

Tria said the Limay Municipal Police Station conducted an anti-illegal drug operation in Barangay Bo. Luz in Limay that resulted in the arrest of the suspected drug peddler.
Confiscated from the suspect who faces charges for violations of Sections 5 and 11 of RA 9165 were three sachets of shabu weighing 0.50 grams.
In Dinalupihan, a team from the municipal police station responded to an incident of heated argument and arrested the suspect and confiscated a .38 revolver loaded with four live ammunitions in Barangay Luacan.
The suspect is now under the custody of Dinalupihan MPS and will face charges for committing a crime of grave threat and violation of RA 10591, Tria said.
