MANILA, Philippines — Police operatives in Mandaue City have arrested a high-value drug suspect and confiscated P884,000 worth of crystal meth, locally known as “shabu”, during a buy-bust.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) reported Monday that suspect Jude Troyo Tahanlangit, 42, was collared by the Mandaue City Police at Purok Orchids, Barangay Opao on Sunday morning.
The PNP said at least 130 grams of shabu with an estimated value of P884,000 was seized from the suspect.
Also confiscated during the drug sting are one pouch and the buy-bust money, the PNP noted.
“Ang ating mga operatiba ay hindi hihinto sa pagtugis sa mga sindikato ng iligal na droga sa bansa. Ito ay isa sa mga suliranin at salot sa lipunan na sumisira ng buhay [ng tao] at dahilan ng pagguho ng mga pangarap ng ating mga kababayan lalong-lalo na ng ating mga kabataan,” PNP Officer-in-Charge Vicente Danao said in a statement.
