LUCENA CITY \u2014 Two drug suspects were wounded during a buy-bust operation that ended in an alleged armed encounter in Imus City, Cavite province on Thursday night, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The Cavite police public information office reported that a local drug enforcement unit conducted a drug sting operation in Barangay Malagasang 2-D at 11 p.m. on September 15.<\/p>\n
According to the police, one of the targets, Riuz Alpeler, 57, sensed that he and his younger brother, Aladin, 56, were dealing with an undercover cop during the transaction.<\/p>\n
Riuz drew his .38-caliber revolver and fired a shot at the anti-illegal drug operatives but missed.<\/p>\n
The lawmen returned fire and hit Riuz on his left shoulder. The bullet exited and consequently hit the right eye of Aladin.<\/p>\n
Police said the wounded suspects were rushed to the nearest hospital for medical treatment.<\/p>\n
Riuz\u2019s handgun, which was loaded with four empty bullet shells and one live bullet, was seized.<\/p>\n
Authorities also recovered four plastic sachets of “shabu” (crystal meth). The report did not state the total volume and street value of the confiscated illegal drugs from the suspects.<\/p>\n
The Alpeler brothers were tagged as drug traders in the city, police said.<\/p>\n
Police were preparing criminal complaints against the suspects for violations of Section 5 and Section 11 of Article 2 of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drug Act of 2002.<\/p>\n
Riuz will also face cases for illegal possession of a firearm and attempted homicide.<\/p>\n
