Authorities arrested four women and seized P6.8 million worth of shabu during a police anti-narcotic operation in Makati City last Wednesday.
Joint elements from the Manila Police District-Station 5 and Makati Police Station conducted the buy-bust operation at house number 2897 H. Santos, Tejeros Street around 2 p.m. following intelligence reports received by the MPD about the illegal drug trade in the area.
A policeman who acted as a poseur buyer was able to buy shabu from the suspects. After the transaction, he signaled his team to proceed with the arrest.
The suspects—Agatha Caray, 45; Mary Grace Caray, 41; Abegail Calvez, 37, and Jovy Linares, 37—are now detained at the Makati City Police jail and will be charged with violation of the Dangerous Drugs Act before the city prosecutors office.
Aside from the one kilo of shabu worth P6.8 million, the police also confiscated from the suspects two mobile phones, a pink color bag, and the marked money used in the entrapment operation.
