Over P1-M Worth Shabu Seized in Cavite Operations
LUCENA CITY — Authorities confiscated over P1 million worth of suspected shabu in separate buy-bust operations across Cavite province on July 3 and 4. The crackdown led to the arrest of three individuals linked to illegal drug activities.
Anti-narcotics agents from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Region 4A and local police arrested two women, known only as “Grace,” 32, and “Kyla,” 35, after they sold shabu to an undercover buyer late Thursday night in Barangay Timalan Balsahan, Naic town.
Investigators seized approximately 100 grams of suspected shabu, valued at around P680,000 based on the Dangerous Drugs Board’s price of P6,800 per gram. A digital weighing scale was also taken from the suspects.
Both women are residents of the area and are listed as high-value individuals (HVIs) on the drug watch list. This classification includes financiers, traffickers, manufacturers, importers, or known members of drug syndicates.
