LUCENA CITY – Police arrested two alleged “big time” drug pushers in this city and seized 63 grams of “shabu” (methamphetamine hydrochloride) in a buy-bust operation early Wednesday, police said.

Senior Supt. Rhoderick Armamento, Quezon police provincial director, said operatives from the provincial drug enforcement unit nabbed Jonathan Monteza, 43, and his live-in partner Aileen Natad, 29, after the couple sold one plastic sachet of shabu to an undercover policeman in Barangay (village) Ibabang Dupay at 3:35 a.m.
