Motorcycle Rider Caught Carrying Illegal Drugs in Parañaque City
A motorcycle rider was stopped by police in Parañaque City early Friday morning, May 23, after failing to wear a helmet. However, during the stop, authorities discovered that he was carrying a significant amount of illegal drugs.
The 21-year-old suspect, known only by the alias “Hidehiro,” lives in Tondo, Manila. Police officers from the Parañaque City Police Tambo Substation were conducting “Oplan Sita” when they flagged him down around 4:50 a.m. in front of Imperial Plaza along Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard in Barangay Tambo.
Illegal Drug Transport Leads to Arrest
Upon being stopped, Hidehiro refused to show his driver’s license and motorcycle documents. He tried to escape on foot, abandoning his motorcycle. When officers inspected the vehicle, they uncovered 40 grams of shabu, neatly packed in 15 aluminum sachets and 10 transparent sachets, valued at approximately P272,000.
Additionally, the police found ecstasy tablets worth around P35,000. The total estimated value of the illegal drugs was P307,000.
Charges Filed Following Arrest
Hidehiro was immediately detained at the Parañaque City Police custodial facility. He now faces charges for violating Republic Act 9165, also known as The Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. He was also charged with resisting and disobeying persons in authority.
Local experts emphasize the importance of maintaining strict enforcement against drug trafficking to ensure community safety. This arrest highlights ongoing police efforts under operations like “Oplan Sita” to curb illegal drug transport in urban areas.
